Geocache Description:

This cache forms part of the Katedraal Traverse Series (GC6HMM6) and is cache number 1 out of 5. Please refer to that cache for more information about the hike and additional waypoints to help guide you along the way.


Remember to make a note of the clue found on the logsheet. You will need it in order to find the final cache in the series.

The Slab Route is one of the easiest ways to gain access to the Katedraal. As you start off at the Panorama trailhead, you should be able to see a small rock "tooth" nestled in between the cliffs. That is the Slabs and although it may seem close, it will still take you more or less two hours to get there.

Directions

Head up the Panorama trail until you reach the junction. Turn left and follow the contour path to the base of the hill beneath the slabs. A faint path can be found on the spine of this hill which will take you to some trees next to a waterfall. This is also where you will find the tree that was used by a leopard to sharpen its claws. Cross the stream and head up the steep slope and across the grassy ledge to the other side. Next it's just a matter of climbing the rock steps to the top.

The cache is located on the little ridge at the top of the steps, hidden under some rocks. If you're doing the route in reverse, it will also serve as the starting point for the descent. Keep an eye out for cairns to further guide you up or down.
