Not even close.

 

Seems like if you are prepared - it is no big deal at all.

 

I remember reading about several others that would put your life in much greater peril.

i don't think anything can beat the "Psycho Urban Cache" series

 

and at the top of the list is this one

I think it would be a toss up between the cache near the South Pole, the one in Nepal (a Virt over 20,000 feet I believe), or that one that was in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle in over 100 feet of water.

or the one in Freddy Kruger's basement.

This one is about a mile from my house! http://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LU...c0-c391643d390c

I was in Ethiopia last year so that one was on my radar. I "thought" it was a little less than 500 miles from where I was staying (Addis Ababa) but when I do a search for caches within 500 miles of Addis it doesn't show up. Something seems kinda wonky with the proximity search.

Would have been better for the OP to post the actual link to the cache instead of this tiny URL mess that I just clicked on resulting in pop-ups and this annoying banner which appears to be producing money for someone.

 

That being said that volcano cache looks awesome.

Producing money for the OP, no doubt.

[+Chokecherry]

No doubt it is. Kind of annoying.

What the hell is "link bucks"?!

Which is why I didn't click on the link. I'm getting real paranoid of being sent to some malicious website.

I think the hardest cache in the world. Or should I say universe! Is this one http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...cc-a6038ae288d5

You will need a spaceship to get it

[BCProspectors]

A website that pays the OP each time someone clicks the link in his post.

Uh...I noticed there are no DNFs...hate to go all that way and not find it...OR, those looking in the wrong place...uh...never made it back to log the DNF....?

I guess I forgot the sarcasm tags.

[+EscapeFromFlatland]

My most dangerous find was at a base I visited in Iraq where you could see off the base and there was a known sniper in the area.

[GOF and Bacall]

That one gets my vote.

somehow i don't think he's supposed to do that, the banner part i mean

Here's the link to the cache the OP mentioned:

 

GCHVV2 - Deathwish?

 

Looking at it, I'm not likely to pursue it.

Why on earth would anyone want to pursue a 5/5 for a film canister?

 

That Volcano one though. Wow.

[+Team Cotati]

I was gonna go get it during my lunch break today but I changed my mind.

[+Northmark]

I think it would be a toss up between the cache near the South Pole, the one in Nepal (a Virt over 20,000 feet I believe), or that one that was in the trunk of an abandoned vehicle in over 100 feet of water.

Do you know the GC # for the South Pole cache? Id love to see the listing

[+behind the camera]

Judging by the number of finds it can't be that dangerous. For 90 percent of people who geocache, just finding a well maintained cache on a mile long path can be dangerous.

you can't anyway, there is a "no shirt, no access" policy in effect at that location

Not quite the South Pole but probably harder (and more dangerous) to get to. Just 2000 ft below the summit of the summit of a 12,448 ft active volcano (Mount Erebus) in Antarctica (4 finds in six years) Cone_Z.

This one gets my vote: Psycho Urban Cache #9 - Hot Glowing Tribulations

 

...yeah the EPA and CDC were investigating claims related to this cache and it had to be temporarily disabled. Seriously, this wins. When there is a threat of dying due to radiation or cancer ...yeah.

 

This topic has been brought up quite a bit in the past I believe, here is one good thread on it.

Surprisingly, that one in Nepal (Kala Pattar) has 81 finds and the cache page indicates that it's at 5545 meters. The Uhuru Peak cache (a traditional on Kilimanjaro) is 5894 meters. A few months ago, while flying back home from Tanzania, we landed at Kilimanjaro airport (just south of the mountain), enroute to Nairobi, Kenya. As we started to leave the pilot said that Nairobi was about 600 km away, but since they had a cruising altitude of 17,000' and there was a 19,000' mountain in the way we'd have to fly around Kilimanjaro, about triple the distance.

 

Anyone have a list of the highest (excluding the one on the ISS) caches in the world?

[+mchaos]

According to some people this is the most dangerous cache in the world

Now, if it was a sweet ammo can full of cast off toys, business cards, dead batteries, and litter -- now THAT would be worth risking your life for!

Most film canisters have a soggy goo inside instead of a log book. If I'm gonna risk my neck, I want to at least write my name in the book. Or perhaps I would write northernpengu--a--a--a--a--a--a--a--r---r--g--g--g--h--h--h- *whump*
