RAM Mountaineering is creating a new path to replace the (very eroded) existing routes to the base of the climbs.

The new path starts higher up on the India Venster walk-in, and traverses in along the base of Venster Buttress. To get there continue walking up India Venster from the Contour Path for another few minutes until you start ascending the gully with Venster Buttress on your left. The path begins from here (there will be signposts in place shortly, but in the meantime look out for the cairns).

A big thank you to the guys at RAM Mountaineering for their efforts, which included negotiating with Table Mountain National Park, building the new path and having the signposts made.
