Geocache Description:

These Rock Towers just begged to have a cache placed. This is not your average roadside Cache. You will have to work for it, but the rewarding views will be worth all your efforts. No special equipment needed. Space for small tradable items

Geo

 


Pull off the road on the Beaufort West side of the Rock Tower. Notice the big pipes that runs under neath the road, There is an almost unnoticeable dry water stream that runs down the mountain to these pipes. 

Geo

Climb up the slope of the mountain in this dry water stream. Watch out for thorny bushes and loose rocks.

Geo

Continue up the stream and slope until you are across this gap between the rock face and rock tower also easier to get out of the stream here.

Geo

Continue climbing up in the gap between the rock face and Rock Tower, maneuvering between the branches of the bushes. Climb up about 2 more levels. You should be on a more level area and very close to Ground Zero.

Geo

This is the view that will be awaiting you when you reach GZ. Below is a Rest Camp and further up the valley just around the corner is Beaufort West's water supply the Gamkadam.

Geo

Behind you the Rock Tower stands tall and gives you another spectacular view. After finding the cache take a few minutes to enjoy and appreciate the views and surroundings before making your way back down to the road. Be careful of the loose rocks. Hope you enjoy the cache as much as I enjoyed placing it
