Geocache Description:

A small cache at the top of Quandary Peak.

*Description update 8/16/2010* The original container is still up there and the spoiler photos are still helpful. Since readings can be wonky up high, it's probably best to find it with a distance/bearing from the summit marker.

The cache container is a small nalgene container (not a normal bottle) camoed to look like a rock-but a different color rock than what's up there. Oops. That should help you out. Its mouth is just wide enough for a TB dogtag.

I'm a believer in the hard hike-easy cache philosophy, so there are several spoiler photos, and in the event that the coordinates are off, I'm telling you that from the summit log, the cache is 230 degrees magnetic north with 10 degrees East variance for 93 feet, under a kairn.

If you haven't done a 14er before, I'm giving you the name Gerry Roach and directing you to your local library. Do your homework! And get off the summit by noon at the latest.

The easiest way up is a five mile long, class one climb. There are other routes that may require technical equipment, and one class three scramble.

Bon chance!
