Keep
it Secret: We charge the Fellowship of the Ring
with this mission; do not reveal the hides through spoiler
clues.

Keep
it Safe: Completing this series means accepting real risk
of life and limb. Please read the disclaimer below.

Disclaimer:
There is no need for anyone to do any of these caches, or to
complete them once started. Those who choose to undertake this
series do so at their own risk. The terrain in the area of these
caches is extremely rocky and steep. Please be careful. But even
with care, falling from great heights and other serious,
potentially fatal risks remain. Please do not undertake this series
if you are not in good physical shape, comfortable with rock
climbing, and completely willing to accept the risks associated
with this activity.

Assault
on Weathertop
As always in this series, the stated coordinates
are not correct. You will learn the correct coordinates when you
complete "Seven for the Dwarf Lords."

It is at this cache that you will discover the
extreme terrain of which you were warned in the above disclaimer.
This is an area used by rock climbers, who come here with rope and
harness. For those who know how to properly use such equipment,
rock-climbing gear could well be used to help reach the cache
location. We placed the cache without using such equipment, but
this is not to say that this is safe. There is no safe approach to
this cache. Please do not attempt this cache if you are not
entirely comfortable with accepting these
risks.
The coordinates
you will receive for this cache are intended only to put you in the
center of a circle of 90-foot radius. Within this radius are nine
potential hiding places, all of which are pictured
below:
One of these nine
is, in fact, the actual hiding place of the cache. All you must do
is determine which one of these nine it is. By itself, this is
certainly no harder than solving the Elven puzzle or finding the
Dwarvish runes. As before, we have increased the difficulty rating
to reflect the cumulative challenges that must be met to reach this
point and find this cache.
This is a
regular-sized cache, with a variety of trade items, initially
including
The Nine... and, of course, a log book. Upon the inside cover
of this log book you will find the long-sought coordinates for the
ultimate cache in this series: "One Ring to Rule Them
All."
