Geocache Description:

This cache forms part of the Katedraal Traverse Series (GC6HMM6) and is cache number 2 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 clues found on the Geocaching Info Note. You will need it in order to find the final cache in the series.

Second Ridge Peak is the official seat of the Katedraal at an altitude of 1515m. The view from the throne is truly something to experience, but to get there is definitely going to be a challenge. You can approach either via the Slabs or Bergriviernek, with the Slabs being the shortest but also the steepest of the two routes.

Directions

From the top of the slabs, continue up and to the right along the wide, grassy slope. Once at the top, scramble up some rocks and cross the ledge leading across the top of a narrow gully. Keep going up until you reach what looks like a dead end. You will now have to crawl through a narrow tunnel on the left. Watch your head! Once through, only a short, easy climb remains until you reach the summit.

The cache is hidden a couple of meters down from the summit cairn, inside a crevice at the top of a vertical crack.
