"The only true 4.5 in the area". Do not attempt to find this cache if you are relativly wide, finding it does require climbing and scrambling through some fissures in the cliff. Most of the climb through the fissure is exposed fourth class, though several 5.0 moves exist but aren't not as exposed. Still, a fall would be bad so please be safe and don't do anything beyond your comfort level.

Because of complaints from the State Park regarding safety issues, this cache is out of commission until further notice. I'm leaving it on the sight for historical reasons, and to keep the page in case we can ever have this cache again.

This is a picture of the route to the cash. The picture was taken from the spot where you have to crawl. The best way to go is behind the huge flake (as seen in the picture) and up the crack.
