Nodes in Cave Buttress

You need a permit to climb at Truitjies Kraal, permits are obtainable from the Kromrivier office. Wildcard cardholders can get the permits for free.

Shuffle through the side door and negotiate the wormhole before pulling up onto the face above the cave. Straight up to the top. A unique and interesting line. Walk off the back (involves a bit of a downclimb) or improvise a rapp point.

Approach: On the right-hand side of the cave that houses the bushman rock art is a passage with blocks and then steps. Up the steps and left leads to the wormhole. Slight right is the start of the route on a rock platform.

Climb the centre of the east face of the small pillar, to the right of the cave art, encountered on the path from the second car park. At the top, walk across and step across the crevice to the main buttress and find a suitable abseil point.
