Cecelia Ridge provides an easy scramble up to the Back Table of TM from either Cecelia Forest or Kirstenbosch. From the Cecelia Forest parking on Rhodes Avenue come up Spilhaus Ravine, crossing several jeep tracks until the highest contour path is reached below Splihaus Buttress. Go north along the contour path towards Kirstenbosch, dipping down through Cecelia ravine and then up onto Cecelia Buttress.  The path up the buttress takes off shortly after the path has leveled out after climbing up from Cecelia Ravine.

From Kirstenbosch, take any of several routes up the contour path (well marked) and go south towards Constantia Nek. At a junction of several paths and the Kirtsenbosh boundary, turn right up a steep set of steps.  Cross Rooikat Ravine  and about 200m further on the Ridge path turns off right.

The path up is easy to follow and needs no description.  There are several return options. The quickest is down the jeep track and Spilhaus Ravine, or down the jeep track to Constantia Nek.  A popular 'circuit' is up Cecelia and down Nursery Ravine back into Kirstenbosch. Or one can do this in reverse and come up Nursery and down Cecelia Ridge.  Cecelia Ridge also provides an alternative way down after coming up Constanta Corner. 

Finding the top of the way down Cecelia Ridge, and the turn off to Nursery Ravine, is a bit tricky.  They are all within a 100m or so of each other but not entirely obvious.  The Google Map below shows this 'junction' in more detail.  (May need panning and/or zooming in to see all the paths. Click on any placemark for a description.)
