Geocache Description:

Sandstone cliff requires some climbing and good balance.

Cache is in a medium size air tight plastic container.  It is hidden under some rocks - please re-hide carefully as this location may be visited by non cachers and wolves.  This cache was placed by ascending the gulley from below and then some light scrambling to get to the cache (harder in the winter with snow coverage).  One could also likely approach this cache from above (but that wouldn't really be in the spirit of copying the efforts of the original placement team ( :-) )

Due to the nearness of a cliff face, GPS reading may be difficult.  I took 500 readings and the GPS reported the accuracy as 3.0m.  Your mileage may vary.

Depending upon the season, some light scrambling (short but steep) is required to reach the cache.  While it is unlikely that much snow would cover the cache itself, the ledges you cross to reach it could be icy.  Be careful!

 

The cache initially contains:

  • Log book (+ pens, pencils, eraser, sharpener)
  • Dickens the Travel Bug
  • Tim Hortons Gift Certificate
  • First to Find certificate (with unautographed, unauthorized photograph of Dickens the Pub on 7th)
  • Emergency Poncho
