Geocache Description:

Ships Prow is one of the most recognisable and striking images of the Drakensberg. This very difficult pass is notorious for rock falls, hikers have died here in the past. The Pass is 4,5km long gaining 1400m and topping out at +/-3300m. You can get here from Monks Cowl or Injasuti camp.


The cache is placed at the top of the pass and you can also get to it from the escarpment.
This is a mountainous area which means it brings real risks. You need to be aware of these risks and previous experience of these conditions will definitely count in your favour, not only to find the cache but to actually enjoy yourself.

Make sure you prepare yourself properly before venturing off, sign the Mountain Register and most of all enjoy the splendour of the Drakensberg.

You will need to bring your own pen to sign the log.
An Elephant pin awaits the FTF.
