Geocache Description:


I love rocky road
So weren't you gonna buy half a gallon, baby
I love rocky road
So have another triple scoop with me

This is probably the most difficult cache I'm ever going to place. The cache itself is really easy to find, but it's pretty darned tricky getting to it. If you're not very fit, please do not attempt it.

The cache is a magnetic micro, tucked in just out of sight.

A few warnings:

NO doing it in the dark.
NO small children.
NO wet or windy weather.
NO sandals.
DO wear sunscreen and wear a hat.
DO bring lots of water.
DO use the buddy system.
DO keep something very cold to drink in your car for when you're done.

There are zero indications that this area is off limits. There is not a single "No Trespassing" or "Private Property" or "Do Not Enter" sign. All the same, this terrain is fairly dangerous, and you will need to be in at least fairly good shape and have a good sense of balance to access the cache.

It took me approximately 20 minutes to get to the cache, and another 20 minutes to return. Definitely remember the sunscreen, keeping in mind that the sun's reflections off the water will effectively double your exposure.

I highly recommend that you do not attempt this cache alone.


This is just a short reminder to anybody wishing to try for this cache. As winter arrives, you must consider the weather when approaching this cache. During wet and/or icy conditions, do not attempt. And due to its location, snow and ice may linger just where you least expect it, well after it has melted everywhere else.

I will not be disabling the cache for the winter, as the weather in St. Catharines is notoriously variable, and we frequently get extended warm spells. Just be warned that the direct approach can be very dangerous when it is not warm and sunny.
