The cache is labeled as a traditional cache but could also have been an Earth Cache. It is situated on the top of rock outcrop known to Geologists as a "Roche Moutonee" or as we have called it "The Elephant Back". The sloped was formed as the Glaciers melted and retreated, thus making the horizontal striations (scratch marks) that are visible on the smooth slope.
You can walk around the hill so the climb only a gentle slope. If you go head on it is a steep cliff to climb.
The terrain is labeled at a 4 which assumes worst case scenario that you climb the rock face. If you go around on the slope the terrain is actually a 2.5.
When the cache was originally set up, it contained; a mirror, wrist beads, yellow play dow, yellow hotwheel car, green hotwheel car, plastic kids ring, United Way Pin, hair clip, plastic ball, glass figurine"November", two travel bugs and a geo coin.
