Geocache Description:

WARNING! This is a 5 star Übercache and should not be attempted unless you are 100% confident that you're up to the challenge! Rock Hard has been rated 5 stars for a reason and should only be sought if you have complete confidence in your ability.

Rock Hard is the first of the Übercaches. It is entry level but please don't be fooled - it is very hard to get to and you will have to consider your route back from the cache not just to it! Also, the GPS may lead you to the top of the rock face - please don't try to climb down from the top - you will have to start at the bottom and make your way up.

Rock Hard should NEVER be attempted in the wet or the dark as the terrain is extremely difficult and would be dangerous under the wrong conditions. Some climbing and scrambling ability will be required and although equipment isn't strictly necessary, a helmet might be a good idea if you have one - just in case.

You are looking for a medium sized clip-lock container containing log book, pen and room for small finds. Please take care when retrieving and replacing the cache and make sure the container is secured in it's original position.
