The cache is on top of Silver Creek Cliff. The access
from the route I took is called by rock climbers a 4th Class
Access. That means that there is a real
possibility that you can get injured if you slip and
fall. There would be no shame for a climber to choose to gear
up and protect the climb. There are
safer access routes. I would suggest climbing the
skree field on the Two Harbors end of the Silver Creek Cliff
path. However, that
is also a very rugged and difficult route. This cache is not easily
accessed. If you choose to attempt this cache, be
careful, be patient, and leave small children on the paved trail
below.
Now that you have been suitably warned, on to
the cache itself. I've rock climbed here but the best
climbing is in the winter when the ice forms up. This face
forms some beautiful ice well suited to Ice Climbers. It
forms everything from big slabs of ice to free hanging
pillars. All in all, a very good place to ice climb.
The cache is well above the climbing faces over the Silver Creek
Tunnel.
This is a winter friendly cache, for those
Ice Climbing Geocachers out there, made from a large plastic coffee
can. Bring a camera in your back pack, you'll have some
gorgeous views.
