approche
Drive to the end of Schofield Pde, Pennant Hills.
Park near sign, walk through gate for 100m to a track on the left, now signposted as "Berowra Valley National Park Schofield Fire Trail". Follow this for approximately 200m till it heads right towards the oval. Instead of heading right go more or less straight ahead for 50m, turn left at a rock cairn and follow more cairns through scrub to top of little rocky section. Zig down this section till you arrive on the top of a cliff, walk right to a gully. Head down this and you come out onto Cave Wall. There are numerous other ways of getting here this just seems to be the easiest.
