Geocache Description:

The name of the cache is not only accurate, but also an anagram of the location. You can see this cache location from miles around, but you'd better be serious if you want to get to it!

See log requirements below. "Found It" logs that do not meet those requirements will be deleted.


Logging Requirements – Please Read Carefully:
To log a “Found It,” you must include a photo that meets the following requirements:

  1. GPS Photo Requirement:

    • Upload a clear photo showing your GPS device within 5 meters (15 feet) of the posted coordinates.

    • The screen must be readable and show at least the degrees and minutes of your position.

    • Screenshots from phones used as GPS are not acceptable.

    • If your GPS is also your camera and you can’t take a photo of the screen, you may instead post a clear photo of the metal stake at the cache location.

  2. Optional but Encouraged:

    • Include a photo of yourself at the cache location.

  3. Important Note:

    • Photos of yourself somewhere random on Half Dome do not qualify. The picture must clearly show your GPS or the stake at the correct coordinates.

Logs that do not meet these requirements will be deleted.

Cache Details:

  • The cache is marked by a metal stake, about eight inches tall, protruding from the rock.

  • The site is only safely accessible late May to mid-October, depending on weather and trail conditions.

  • A permit is required to ascend the cables to reach the cache. [Check trail and permit info here.]
