Chimney climb up the Devil's Chimney to claim this cache!
The picture will help you see where to go!



There is a black electric-taped container 20 feet up this chimney! Please DO NOT go for this cache if you aren't going to put it all the way back up or secure it under the rocks to protect it from sight, and gravity/weather. It is often found much lower so your help is appreciated so it can keep its D/T rating. The chimney is just a little bit to the right, off the Devil's Head Trail near the top.

This cache is quite easy to find; the fun part is getting UP to it. The climb is safe without ropes, but still be careful and have a spotter if you feel you need one. Terrain rating based on hike to get to this point and then chimney climbing up 20 feet!

***Congrats to hartsdale for the FTF at 10:10am on 10-10-10!!!***

Looks like it is missing again. I'll try to get there soon. I try different attachment every time, and every year still goes missing. But I'm stubborn, and don't want to archive just yet.

Logging with owner's permission. Thanks!

Out playing with my pal Greasepot today--finally up for "real" hiking again after a brief hiatus. One of these days GP will figure out how to render my new cacher name (COHodag)--anyone want to wager on how long that takes? Wink Thanks for adding to our fun and TFTC BigSmile. (And, yes, I just HAD to climb up there, LOL.)

Nope, I'll upload a picture to prove how close we were.

Got up as high as I dared. Might have gone further however we estimate that I was about 20 ft high. 3 DNF’s in a row.

I hike past this cache almost every Tuesday during fire season, but have never made the climb. I'm pretty sure I can get UP to the cache, but I'm not so sure I can get down from the cache! I'm counting on a hiking companion to make the climb as a surrogate one day, but the stars haven't aligned for that yet. We Tuesday Ladies do like stopping here and admiring the view while we contemplate the cache!

What can I say about this cache? The CO is really good guy and is known to place really cool geocaches. This isn't short of that bar. I made my way up and found it where the CO would certainly expect you to find out. Then it was return to mother Earth! Very nice return! Thank you Jason for this cache!

Started an epic caching weekend by checking out the fire tower. What a cool place, and several caches along the way! Thanks for placing this one...GoMRT made the climb!

Replaced!

Seems this one needs replaced annually. Have tried many different containers, and ways of anchoring it in place. Muggle explorers or weather don't like this one haha. But I am stubborn and will continue to replace it each year.

This late log. I walked by this one this morning and said hey I have found this one already. This was one of my favs. Fun cache. TFTC

Went to Devils Head with TeamBlackSheep and thought this seemed a bit crazy to do, but I tried anyways. Super bummed, I don’t think I climbed high enough. Really cool place to hide one, I guess you could say I was “between a rock and a hard place” with this cache! Will attempt another trip. Thanks for the challenge though!

ElectricWarrior climbed up twice while I spotted him, and had no luck :( bonus pick of him gazing longingly into the crevice

I am so glad I made it this time. My 2nd attempt. I think I was there the last time but thought I hadn't gone far enough. I'm not sure I did, but I did this time. Tougher down than up of course.
