Looking up Silverstream Ravine from the Contour Path:
Location: Eastern Table area. This ravine is to the left of Platteklip Gorge on the front of the mountain, and runs diagonally up leftwards.
Overview: The bottom of the ravine is blocked by a waterfall, which is bypassed well to the right up a slope until possible to traverse into the ravine just above the waterfall.
Route Description: The ravine bed is followed, with some 'B' scrambling in the lower part. At the top of the ravine, a rock barrier is climbed using an undercut slit that widens into a grassy recess on the left hand side 'C' grade. This leads onto a wide ledge that is walked some way to the left to reach a tall sloping recess that is climbed usually in 2 pitches of 'C' grade rock.
