Geocache Description:

This cache is not easy to get to, but highlights an interesting formation and some nice places along the way.


This cache can either be approached via the ridge from "YETI the SNOW TIGER" or the canyon bottom.  The ridge has less bushwacking and good views, but the canyon bottom has interesting water slides, cliffs and riparian areas.  Or you can do like I did and go up one way and come down the other.  Either way, wearing shorts would be a bad idea, and clippers or a machete might be useful.

The location of the cache gives you a good view of the tower from across the canyon.  The map in Mike Hill's book "Hikers and Climbers Guide to the Sandias" names this Hardway Pinnacle, but I can't find any other mention of it in the book.  If you know about climbs on this rock, please share the info.
