This is a CHALLENGE GEOCACHE. The cache is located at the posted coordinates, and you may sign it at any time. However, to log it as a find, you must qualify for the challenge. The qualification for this challenge will be easy for Colorado cachers; not so much for "flatlanders". The terrain rating for this cache is based on the actual placement, and not for the challenge.

"I'm not only the owner of this Club; I'm also a member." ~ BearAdair

To qualify, you must find EIGHT CACHE TYPES that each have an elevation equal to or greater than 14,000 feet above sea level. Options include (posted coordinates): Traditional, Multi, Mystery/Challenge, Letterbox Hybrid, Virtual, Webcam, Earthcache, Event, CITO, or Wherigo. Per HQ: benchmarks, waymarks, locationless, and AdventureLabs don't count towards the challenge. They do not need to be found on the same day. The accompanying challenge checker will let you know if you qualify.

Here are my qualifiers:
1. Cache In Trash Out Event - GC8DEBE / Cleaning up Pikes Peak / 2019-09-26 / 14,104.33 ft.
2. Earthcache - GC3P9RH / Pikes Peak Granite / 2019-09-26 / 14,097.77 ft.
3. Event Cache - GC8DECY / Close to the moon!!! / 2019-09-26 / 14,022.31 ft.
4. Letterbox Hybrid - GC8F4D7 / BearAdair's Iconic Adventure / 2019-11-02 / 14,084.65 ft.
5. Multi-cache - GC6MJH2 / DGS?Pikes Peak Views? / 2019-09-26 / 14,114.17 ft.
6. Traditional Cache - GC4P5BM / Pikes Peak Summit / 2019-09-26 / 14,074.80 ft.
7. Mystery Cache - GC6MJHA / DGS? America the Beautiful? / 2019-09-26 / 14,078.08 ft.
8. Virtual Cache - GC659F / Pike Never Made It! / 2019-09-26 / 14,055.12 ft.
9. Wherigo Cache - GC6MM2P / Pike's Peak Summit Tour / 2019-09-26 / 14,078.08 ft.
(I have nine, but made the challenge for eight since there weren't enough other qualifiers for nine yet)

I got this idea from animjason's Mile High Club geocaches, and he gave me his blessing to do this version.

Short caching day. We lazed around until 2pm before heading out into the cold to grab a few. The snow is mostly gone and crisp winter air is making caching with @WindAtMyBack a quick expedition.. We signed a hand full of challenge caches. This was one of them. But I don't qualify yet.

Stopped by before today's event to sign this one so that I don't have to come over again and before I went up on top of Ridgegate to do some caching. Now if the CO will just hold an event (or CITO) on the top of Pike's Peak we will be good!

Finally remembering to log this one as I drove by it again today. I helped BearAdair place this, and was her coordinate beta tester. Love this challenge, and that she was able to qualify so young! She was a trooper on Pikes Peak, it was COLD! Gets a FAVE! Thanks Anna.

I was in the area today and made the quick stop to sign the log. I don't have a letterbox that high but I have the 8 other types. The checker info is below but I'll also post a screen shot from GSAK since the checker didn't capture the highest for each type. TFTC
