Geocache Description:

"Cache seekers assume all risks and responsibilities involved in seeking this cache." "May also encounter HOT coffee ~D (which may be HOT) while driving to and from this cache." :O


Vesper peak is 6214' in elevation. Cache is just off of the summit.
Vesper may be snow bound until late August or later into October.
Spoiler photo and hint should help in location.

This is my third time up Vesper. Vesper holds snow on it till late in the year so September is a good snow-free month. Much of the face still had some snow which would have been more comfortable if I had brought my ice axe, so we skirted around some rock on the snow and jumped back on the rock to scramble the rest of the way up. When snow-free the options going up are better for a safer scramble. Lots of vertical landscape to impress here, and the rock is a thing of beauty.
