It is on a ledge. One must jump down from a higher level to get to the ledge that the cache is on, and then climb back up. Its about a 4 to 5 ft drop. The difficult part is that the ledge you jump down to, is not very big. The string that someone placed, takes the jump down out, so one could walk over to the edge, very easy, and pull the string and cache up. This cache is not a doable cache for everyone, but in its defense, everytime I check on it, I make the jump with no tie off or safety. Like I said its not hard but it does take guts and sure footing. I will just continue to check on it and keep it true.
