Geocache Description:


Climbing - The Eagle Scout Series

This is one of the elective merit badges that a scout can select to complete.

The cache is not at the posted
coordinates.

I hope you like hiking. You will be doing a lot of that during
this series of caches as you work your way toward finding the Eagle
Scout Cache.

Climbing will be a more difficult cache to get. This is because of the placement and the need to climb. You will easily be able to find the tree where the cache is hiding, but the difficulty will be getting up to the cache. You must sign the log in order to claim a find. I don't want any non-climbers (unless you are with someone that does climb up and signs the log). I had originally placed the cache much easier to get to, but then I noticed this nice tree and I have always been one for climbing trees.


To find this cache, find the answers to these questions and then
build the coordinates N 39 58.ABC W 111 41.XYZ
