TelemarkSki24 Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 What are the hardest caches in the world? particularly in the terrain aspect, (4-5). Quote Link to comment
SilverLynx Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) There's one at the south pole, I would call that difficult. I can't remember the page though... I'll look for it. Lynx EDIT: Here it is South Pole Edited January 8, 2005 by SilverLynx Quote Link to comment
+Lemon Fresh Dog Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 (edited) Most people point south when this topic comes up -- it would be interesting to see what the world's highest cache is, the world deepest, and such. I'd like to place a cache on one of the Canadian Rockies Peaks or somewhere in the high regions of the north. The only problem is that my bike can't tow my 3 year-old's bike carrier that far.....

Been there once, never forgot it, always wanted to go back. Quote Link to comment
+Corp Of Discovery Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 This one may just be the hardest one to log a find on... Quote Link to comment
+MarcB Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 This one may just be the hardest one to log a find on... Hmm... an interesting concept but not really sure of the point! MarcB Quote Link to comment
+PeachyPA Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I believe there is one (virt?) where you are asked to have a photo of you taken with Mt. Everest in the background. I'd say that is pretty high in elevation. Quote Link to comment

uperdooper Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 there is one in nepal that the hider recommends you spend 9 days to get used to the elevation. Quote Link to comment
+southdeltan Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 I read about this cache on page 55 of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Geocaching. southdeltan Quote Link to comment

Been there once, never forgot it, always wanted to go back. Funny you should mention that -- stay tuned. I happen to have my copy of "Classic Hikes in the Canadian Rockies" right beside me with the intent of creating a 1/1 to 5/5 series of caches. So....will one of these be the hardest in the world? Not sure. If I place a very challenging puzzle on the 5/5 it could be. Quote Link to comment
+Tzoid Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 NEPAL This one must be really difficult, because both the current 'found' logs are made by people that actually didn't find it. They just found a rock nearby where they thought the cache was supposed to be and took a picture of it. I guess the high altitude makes you do strange things. Quote Link to comment

Its supposed to be a easy find once you get there. Could this be a case of high altitude muggling? Quote Link to comment
+Tzoid Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yeah, probably, but it still does not make it a find in my book. Whats wrong with posting a DNF? I guess climbing for 9 days at high altitude makes you really, really want to find it, but nevertheless. Quote Link to comment
rescue557 Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 This is the complete opposite; a 1/1 cache. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...43-51133e1e47a8 Quote Link to comment

Very Cool, I would definitely like to go back to the Canadian Rockies, and this will provide the extra incentive Quote Link to comment
+Gonzo-YT Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Icefield Discovery and Billy Goats Gruff are both located deep in Kluane National Park (Yukon). We're talking 5-10 days on foot or by raft, along with some serious elevation gain. Icefield has only been found once in going on three years, and only by a group of non-cachers.

+Rainwater Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 These are all cool ...but how do they get approved? I thought you had to be able to maintain a cache to ba able to get it approved. Quote Link to comment
+Durango! Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 The requirement for maintenance should be in proportion to the remoteness of the cache. A micro in the city may have to get its log changed every month as it fills up. A trad cache in Kluane may need to have a visit once every two years or more, as it is in a tough ammo can and not many people get out there. (I assume.) Should be fine. Quote Link to comment
+TheWilkens Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 How about one made out of Diamond? That'd be pretty hard. Quote Link to comment
