Geocache Description:

A bit of a climb provides an incredible view and a little shot of adrenaline.

This cache is at the Pinnacle Rock station of the Arkansas Headwaters Recreation Area off of US Hwy 50. If you plan to stay in the area you can pay for a BLM day pass at the sign, but you shouldn't need one just to grab this one and go.

BE CAREFUL, because it's a bit of a climb and if heights are not for you then neither is this cache.  If you're into it though, take a left as you turn in to the parking lot and get parked at the far end.  Then take a look up at that jagged, gnarly little point to the left and get hiking.  There are three approaches, one on either side and one closer to the middle.  The left one is not so recommended as there is a lot of cactus, the middle one is a pretty straight shot to the ledge you'll have to climb, but the right one is the coolest.  As you curve around the back of the rock you'll see a narrow chasm of dark rock and this will take you up to the point.

Cache is a camo'd peanut butter jar.

Please replace carefully using the rocks to weight it down so that it doesn't fall off the side, and do enjoy!

Congratulations to Sportslane for being FTF!
