Like most of Shakespeare Rock’s modern-day visitors, I go there for the climbing. Because it faces north, the 350-foot shaded bluff is a good place on heated summer days. Located just a few minutes hike from Highway 50, the landmark offers easy access and several short moderate lines up its imposing crag.
Beyond its crack systems, chalk stains, and Hippo-size fractures, Shakespeare Rock also reveals to the seeker something more capricious than 5.6s and 5.11s, something with much more karma. It’s a place of otherworldly beauty and haunting terrain, a private little monument jostling between the spiritual and the secular.
I tried many times to get coordinates for the actual location of this cache but the rock would not allow it. And so this becomes a mystery cache, I find it easier this way anyway. There is nothing to figure out ahead of time, just head to the coordinates and look uphill (you should be standing on the trail directly downhill and within 3ft of one of the largest and sturdiest rocks in the outcropping. ). From there you will see a big opening leading into the mountain, if you look through the opening you will see the “hole in the wall” where I hid the cache. Now scramble up there and get it.
I placed caches like breadcrumbs on my favorite trail to the top. I highly recommend you get all the Shakespeare caches. This is the 3rd of five. Follow the trail to the next (Almost there).
