Wow! What a view! I think the difficulty in mid February should be at least a five because of the mud factor! For someone who's afraid of heights I did a good job! I changed out the container.

If someone is going to this one I would recommend taking along a replacement container. Its a small/medium tupperware type container that is broken and brittle. Presently its in tact and is a good hide.

Container very brittle and beginning to break from age.

out with fishlogger but he found it a while back. Steep but not a long hike. A perfect day for this one dry & cool. Would avoid otherwise. The container has holes in it and very brittle. Unfortunately didn't have replacement, tftc.

Great fall day to be out Geocaching. The climb up to this one is definitely a bit of a challenge but the views are worth it (if your vertigo doesn't get you). TNLN TFTC
