Geocache Description:


Regardless of whether you started at either end of the Deadman's Bay Path, Freshwater Bay trailhead, or Shea Heights, to get to this point in the trail you have definitely covered some ground ... or ... rock?

Accordingly, this cache is getting a terrain rating of 4.  It's not that the terrain at ground zero is rough; there is just no way (except by helicopter) to hike here without having earned a T4.  If you have come from Freshwater Bay, to get to this altitude (170m), you know that this rating is earned for sure.  The sign here at the top (if going toward Freshwater Bay) tells you that you are getting close to GZ:

Near GZ, here is what faces you if you are going down (and don't even talk about if you are coming up!).

The cache is a 500mL screw top camo'd container.  Please re-hide as found.

The cache title is literal.  Don't bushwhack on the top of this hill, for goodness sakes.
