Easy cache to find, hard cache to get to.  There are two ways to get this one.  The EASY WAY or the FREE WAY.
 
Elevation:  about 12,000ft
Cache: Red Ammo Can
The Free Way
Start at the crags trail head. a bit down the road the trail will fork, take trail 664A.  Because of the rocks in the area, the signal might be getting bounced around.

The cache is hidden on the underside of a semi small boulder which flat on top. Just your typical small ammo box, painted red. The original contents were some army ration portions, Log Book, Compass, 2 35m film canisters, 1 roll of rubber tape "very good for repairs, take only a portion",a copy of a local band's CD VelvetRut, and a couple copies of Metallica's St. Anger.
    •    This is a great place for tourists to come (easy way) because it's a pretty easy hike from the road.
    •    Locals will love it because it's a great hike (free way) with awesome views!
 
This is high elevation hiking so make sure you prepare properly, hikers have died on this mountain.
