rock climbing required to reach cache

[+MissJenn]

Caches are out there that require rock-climbing.... but I have not happened to find one yet.

 

Can someone point me in the right direction, please?

 

I'd like to place a cache at the top of a climb myself, but need to see how others have written the description.

 

(and before anyone points it out, I might not have placed this post in the right category.... but I figured: what the heck? you'll forgive me, right?)

by the way, I did (just now) find the ones that are found when you search for the word "climb" in the keyword.... are there others, though?

MissJenn, this is the only one that I know of that is reasonably close:

Also, this one involves climbing but may not be very technical:

I will not necessarily go to this cache in The Gunks but seeing the descriptions are helpful as I plan what i will do.

I remember this one from an earlier search of difficult caches

OR

if only travel were a bit cheaper!

 

K9FIK,

Whooo---eee, Drop Dead Gorgeous does seem way, waaaay cool. Far, but cool.

Definitely gave me some more ideas.

 

Also, thanks, James.

How do you feel about someone placing a cache somewhere along or at the top of a climb? Are there things I am not considering here?

 

(No, of course, I would not put it right in a handhold or anything silly like that. )

I think that last cache you posted gives a good description. Flat out tell them you need rock climbing skills. For me that's a dead givaway that I will not be doing that cache. 4x4 and adventuring are more my interest. Mulit and offset caches and so forth. But to each their own. No reason why you shouldn't do rock climber specials.

We're climbers but we haven't sought a cache by climbing... yet. We've been thinking about placing one, just to do it, but we wouldn't expect too many geocachers to be able to get to it.

Try "Sunrise over Chickencoop"

 

It's in Southern CA, and it's not a traditional rock climb, but you'll get the idea when you see the page.

Infrequent visits won't be an issue for me - not for this cache.

 

My thoughts so far are these:

- 1- I definitely don't want it to piss off the climbers in my area.

- 2 - It will be a small cache (see #1) such that there won't be much room for trinkets. It might just be a logbook and pencil. Maybe one trinket at a time could fit in there, so # of visits is not so critical

 

I will post it here once I get it all together. It has not been great climbing weather (nor good circumstances) for me yet. Soon, I hope!

 

And, here's the link to Rising sun over Chicken Coop.

No one has logged it yet.

You don't have to place the cache in a hand/foot hold, what if you did a short traverse somewhere on a climb with a couple cams, then place the cache in a crevess.

Horse Droppings #1 is WAY harder than my cache will be .... no 2 day walk, for starters! but THANKS SO MUCH for the link, Hiemdahl.

 

This board and this hobby are both so awesome: They allow me the pleasure of vicarious caches.... As has been said in many other places and times before:

Jeremy, you da man!
