Approach
<5 min
Turn right onto the 4wd track from Sand River Road and then almost immediately take a left-hand track for the Barbecue Crag, which is rough but passable in a car with reasonable clearance. There is limited parking when you reach the old metal barbecue itself after 100m, but please don't block the turning area. Orange tape marks the way first to the base of the upper crags (Wave Wall and The Balconies), and then leads to the lower crag (Shadow Wall).
