<strong>the</strong> right side <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> road. You should see a drain going under <strong>the</strong> road here - a p<strong>at</strong>h leads <strong>of</strong>f from here. It takes you to <strong>the</strong><br />
cliff face where it splits. <strong>The</strong> p<strong>at</strong>h to <strong>the</strong> right & down will lead you to some hard to find rap points, take care some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
crags are 30m high. <strong>The</strong> left option takes you to a small cairn which indic<strong>at</strong>es a u-turn in <strong>the</strong> p<strong>at</strong>h which <strong>the</strong>n heads down a<br />
steep gully to <strong>the</strong> crags. You can also walk along <strong>the</strong> cliff from God No or Hallucinogenic & keep going until you see <strong>the</strong><br />
cairn & p<strong>at</strong>h doing a u-turn down a steep p<strong>at</strong>h to <strong>the</strong> crags. <strong>The</strong> sun leaves <strong>the</strong> face by mid-morning. This crag is superb<br />
with some real long classics - a must. <strong>The</strong>re are a few bushmen paintings and pottery remains here, please don't remove or<br />
deface <strong>the</strong>m.<br />
