Who: Adventurous Cachers
What: Climbers Ready! A D1/T5 Fizzy Filler Event Cache
Terrain 5:"Requires specialized equipment such as scuba gear, a boat, rock CLIMBING GEAR, or similar."
While a difficult-to-find container or a tough-to-solve puzzle is fun, I have always enjoyed the adventure and reward after finding a geocache that requires a little more of a physical effort. These are the caches at the end of a long hike, on the top of a mountain peak, or in those out-of-the-way places which can't be reached without getting a little bit wet, scared or challenged. Many geocachers have found a cache with a Terrain 5 rating. However, not all caches with a Terrain 5 rating are created equal. Some of them actually do require specialized knowledge and equipment and today we are going to give you an introduction to what finding one of those caches is like!
Please join us at Mesa Rim Rock Climbing where you will climb to new heights in search of the smiley for this event. Yes, you read that right this is a climbing event. Everyone is encouraged to climb, but is not a requirement for logging as an "ATTENDED" for this event. If you've never climbed anything steeper than a staircase, this is your chance to get a taste of what the adrenaline junkies do for fun and if you are one of those adrenaline junkies, this will be the easiest T5 you'll ever find.
There is no need to bring anything with you except your sense of adventure. Everything needed will be onsite to get you safely to the top and down again including all of the gear, basic climbing instruction, and even a little cattle prodding if you need it. 😉
Costs with the event have been covered by donations from the caching community, myself and the event location. Donations accepted but not required.
There will be some refreshments at base camp.
