Geocache Description:

This place reminds me of the movie "The Never ending story" and due to the fact I had nothing with me to make a cache I decided this would be a good name for this cache.


We spent a few days at Kliphuis camp site in the Cederberg Wilderness area. This is a amazing place and all the rock formations made me think of the Rock Biter form the movie "The Never ending story" and I had to place a cache here. So a plan was made, cache made and placed. 

Please note there is a conservation fee to get in but if you have a wild card entry is free. Also they may be happy to let you in to find the cache if that is all you are going to do. Please note that I could not get a good G.P.S fix at GZ but the Hints should make this a easy find.

Aliases Rockbiter; Mr. Rockchewer 
Species Fantastican Rockbiter 
Occupation Represents his species to ask the Childlike Empress for help against the Nothing. 
Pyornkrachzark, more commonly referred to by the name "Rockbiter" (German steinbeisser, "stone biter") is a large creature made completely of stone. The Rockbiter species are named appropriately due to their diet consisting of only rocks and earth-based materials. The Rockbiter seen in the movie particularly has a liking for limestone. Rockbiter meets a group of travellers including a Will O'Wisp, Teeny Weeny and his racing snail, Nighthob and his bat. All of them, including Rockbiter are going to the Ivory Tower to ask the Childlike Empress for help against the Nothing's destructive forces. Rockbiter rides a large motorcycle made of stone, and his eating habits are rather grotesque, pieces of large rock falling from his mouth as he eats food. Atreyu later encounters Rockbiter who has lost faith in himself, after failing to save his travelling companions from the Nothing, claiming they were sucked right out of his hands. He advises Atreyu to flee before the Nothing takes him too, willing to be taken himself. 

While on your quest to find the nothing you will have to do some climbing up the rocks that I am sure the Rock Biter would have loved. "this is another story and shall be told another time".
