READ THE DESCRIPTION

Update: The cache isn't in a lame spot like under some random rock or twig (there's like a quadrillion places like this here and that wouldn't be very fun). Its in, how do I put this, a very unique spot. You're looking for a black bison tube.

This cache is only for professional idiots, such as myself. Don't risk hurting yourself just for a geocache. It would be a good idea to bring a friend or two just in case someone falls.

There is some climbing involved, and if you fall, you could hurt yourself. The climb is pretty easy, with plenty of handholds and I was able to do it in the rain with slippery rocks and I have very little climbing experience. Nevertheless, don't try it if you aren't sure. If you fall, there is a chance you'll break something. 

Now, if you have decided your going for it, heres a little help:

Get off the trail on to the rocks before you reach the area of the cache. You will pass a bench, then continue for a bit and the trail will meet an absolutely beautiful outlook. Honestly, coming here just for the view is more than worth it. The outlook you're looking for has a sign on it showing the peaks you can see from it. Once you're on the rocks, make your way toward the cache.

The FTF will earn a nice prize of 20 bucks, which is in the cache next to the log. Its all yours. You've earned it.

 

Hint 1: (Try to find without this, but you can look after a while. If this doesn't help, you can look at the actual one)

(Its only backwards so people don't read it immediately. The fact that it is backwards doesn't mean anything)

 

Please DNF if you don't find it. I may need to add more hints if a bunch of people can't find it.

DO NOT GO FOR THIS CACHE WHEN WET. ROCKS ARE VERY SLIPPERY.

Started searching around 10:40, really fun to climb around and search. @Papaya101 wards. The location of the cache is very unique and very gratifying to find once found. Not sure what two hairless cats meant though.

A group of us (thelownlycheese and alexthewoah) was eyeballing this cache for a while and made the trip up today. We worked out the location pretty quickly based on the first hint but getting to it was a whole other beast. We managed it, with high heart rates and lots of scratches to show for it. From there we used the second hint and located the cache in about 15 mins… but that was only the beginning. We signed the log, took the money, and were in the middle of celebrating when I did an oopsie and dropped the cache down a super deep crevice. We spent the next hour and a half pulling our hair out and wondering how to recover the container. We tried poking around with a stick, lowering a binder clip into the crack, and even considered pouring water into the hole before eventually using a bandaid on the end of a stick to grab it and pull it out. Success! We made our way down and celebrated with sandwiches at the st vrain market. Definitely a favorite. Thanks Cianzoid for proving I am a professional idiot like you.
