Geocache Description:

You will find parking for this cache off of route 45. Turn onto, and go up Shingletown Road. The following coordinates will be at parking area. N 40 45.234 W 077 49.085 The terrain has been set at a 3.5 although this rating could go up depending on the trails you choose or time of year.

The Hill Climber multi is based on the Shingletown hiking trails near State College and Boalsburg. Basically, it is a nice hike with a multi-cache in Rothrock State forest at the top of the trail.

This area is open all year but caution should be taken during hunting season. You will be able to stay on the trails for this three part multi-cache. Bushwhacking is not required. The trails are well maintained although they can become quite mucky and slick in areas with rain and snow. Please plan on bringing a light lunch or snacks as well as drinking water.

The first stage of this multi is about 45 minutes from the parking area. GPS reception will be spotty in the lower area of the Gap but if you put in the 45 minutes of hiking reception will improve as you go. You will be looking for an ammo can at the final location. Please return all coordinate markers and cache to their hiding places. A compass could prove helpful on one of the stages.

The Hill Climber multi-cache has been DCNR approved.
