Geocache Description:

Please, do not underestimate the terrain rating that is posted. Any geocacher in average health will have no trouble with this cache, but I'm taking you to a dangerous area. Trails are not going to be found. It's a tough 500 feet.

After you arrive at the parking coords, and check out the falls, walk UP along the guardrail on the same side of the road, and look for an arrow of rocks on the ground. That is the best way in. If you don't find the arrow, it's no "biggey", but I wish you luck.

After you do your crossing, and enter the woods, you might want to "mark" this position.

Take yourself to N41*06.578 W 075*42.947, where you'll find a strange object hidden among the rocks. You'll know it when you find it. If not, decode clue #1. You will be standing on the ground now, not "up on the rock". Take this object with you, you'll need it.

Now you can head out to the final coords, again, please be careful. Make your find, and if you are at "ground zero", and "up on the rock", and still can't find it, look at the thing in your hand. If that isn't quite enough, decode clue #2.

After making your find, please return to where you found the strange object, and replace it as you found it. Hope you have fun!

New rule, chipping at ice with the strange object, is no longer allowed!
