This cache is located close to the second obsticle and the "V" will be the trickiest of the three approaches. This approach, if handled the wrong way could cause you to slip sideways into the "V". The other two access points have their own difficulty factors as well. Use a spotter if needed.

With ONLY a 30% chance of rain today, we crossed our fingers and decided to hike above Montgomery Reservoir. We lucked out. No rain. Parked by the Magnolia Mine and quickly found that cache and Gem of the Rockies. Watched some quads negotiating the Flopper. Then overshot the 4-40 cache, so continued on to this one. We spent about a half an hour searching everywhere our GPSrs indicated GZ was. No luck. We started reading previous logs and tried another cacher's coordinates. (39 21.771 / 106 05.393). Still took some scrambling over the big boulder and looking in lots of crevices, but finally found this well-hidden cache. When found, GZ was within 9 feet of the other cacher's coordinates. SL T4TSmile The thunderheads were beginning to build, so we decided to head back toward our stock jeep, stopping at 4-40 on the way.
