Lone Mountain Summit Traditional Cache
MsDelilah: Unfortunately there has been no response regarding this geocache, and sadly I am forced to archive it at this time. If at some point in the future the cache is determined to still be present or is replaced, please e-mail me via the link on my profile page. If it still meets the current guidelines, we can discuss unarchiving it at that time.
Thank you.

The top of Lone Mountain, 11,166 feet.
UPDATE 7/30/2007 I finally revisted my cache and now the summit sign is missing, so take a picture with the "Big Couloir Access Only" sign, post it to the log, and you can count this as a found catch.
UPDATE 8/6/2005 It seems the cache may have been muggled and I won't be able to verify until next summer. Even if the cache is gone, the climb and view are still worth it. If you send me a picture of the sign shown in my picture "At the top", you can count this one as a found cache. --Howling Wolf
Take Gondola One up or if you want an extra challenge, start walking at the base. Once you leave the gondola at ~9500', take the Lone Peak Trail to the top. This is an extreme climb, take plenty of water and appropriate clothes since the weather turns quickly. A pair of gloves is advised as you will be in contact with the rocks as you climb up and down. The picture gives all the hints you will need. While you can reach the cache during the winter via the Lone Peak Tram, the real challenge is climbing it during the summer months.
