A cache at the top. The coordinates S 243269632 352321536.6165626880 E 243269632 83886080.1702887424
I have placed this cache on the ridge at the top of Rhino peak. Unfortunately it cannot be on the top of the peak as there is already a cache there. This is the perfect cache to break the 3000m mark 
It is a 8-10 hour hike from the parking lot at garden castle. However I recommend you spend a night in one of the caves on the way up. The route to the top is not well marked but if you follow the kearns you should get the the top without getting lost more than once or twice. No special equipment is needed to complete this hike however I recommend you at least take a day pack with food, a water bottle or 2 (they can be refilled on the way up) and rain/cold gear as the weather can change quickly. 
I would suggest that you start your hike as early as possible. During summer the gate opens at 5am and 6am in winter. On the way up you will pass pillar cave and the annex. I suggest you grab the caches quickly and move on, you will then notice the Mashai fangs on your left, you need to keep going up the pass and following the kearns. 
Towards the top of the pass your progress will slow considerably, the last 500m of the pass took me close to an hour, Remember to be careful and pace yourself as trhe incline you are hiking up is extremely steep. Once at the top there is an easy 2km walk along the plateau to the 'horn' the cache is along that plateau. Please be aware of the locals at the top. The resound extremely well to sweets and smokes, I am told they can become aggressive while asking for money. 
I completed the ascent in 4 hours 31 minutes and the decent in 3 hours 45 minutes solo. I recommend going in a group.
