Yes, it really is up there Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

juniorwoodchuckhuey: Yes it was up there. But as the last gang wrote, there are broken branches which make it tough to get to. So I am archiving it. I did make it up there and recover the cache. And I must say I'm happy that's the last time I will have to go up that tree. And I won't have to worry about someone else getting hurt attempting it. I look forward to hiding another tree climbing cache, but hopefully on a tree that's a little more approachable.

Cache on!

Geocache Description:

This is a tree climbing cache.  You must sign the logbook to claim the cache as "found".  

CACHE IS WAY WAY UP A TREE. BE CAREFUL!!


Coordinates could be off due to tree cover, but there's an obvious climbing tree at the side of a trail.  Cache is more than 6m up the tree.  

You should only attempt this cache if you are a confident climber of trees.  I placed it without any special gear, but many cachers will take one look at this one and say "No thanks".

There are a good number of branches near the cache, which should give you ample things to hang on to. I found it helpful to straddle a branch with both feet on a branch below it.

The Ridge Stile Park has a short trail system. This cache is on a loop. If you start at the signpost near the trailhead coordinates, you will travel a bit further eastwards beyond the cache, but keep following the trail. It will head south and when you get to a "T" junction you can follow the trail right to Ground Zero. The "lower" trail continues in a loop back to the Ridge Stile Park, and if you keep going west another 50m it will loop back to the starting point.

Congratulations to B2BRO on FTF!
