Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are online between PMOGUY's Mt. Ray cache GCQC3Q and the final which you must compute.
This is on the south side of Mt. Ray. The terrain is quite steep and loose in places.

This is a replacement of the original 'slope distance' cache. I replaced it farther down the slope from where the original was.
Please read and heed the warnings in reference to PMOGUY's Mt. Ray cache GCQC3Q.  The average slope to his cache is 26%.  The slope from the top to this cache is 63%. The slope distance from the Mt. Ray cache to this one is 2360 feet due south.  Please watch your step in this area. Since I was asked I will post the website that will be very helpful in solving this cache. www.edwilliams.org/gccalc.htm
Compute the horizontal distance from the top of Mt. Ray and you will find the cache which is a green plastic ammo can which I hope will hold up better than the original which was smashed by a bear.
If you are one of the few who have already logged Mt. Ray, you can compute the coordinates and come from the saddle east or west of the summit.
Disclaimer: We retain all rights to this cache.  We can and will modify, adjust, tweak, disable or archive this cache at any time without prior notice.
Without prior notice we can and will delete any log that does not conform to our intent of this cache hunt.
We will not be liable for any direct, indirect, punative or consequential damages you may suffer from hunting this cache. If you attempt this geocache hunt, you do so at your own risk. Know your limits and do not exceed your abilities. (standard logscaler & Red disclaimer).
I cut the difficulty to 4.5 since the puzzle is not hard to solve and the cache is not hard to find once you get there. Terrain is a real challenge.
