OT - What About A Cache Up Here
Check out this pathway. Imagine a cache at the end.
What would the terrain rating be, and would you go for it?

There's an earthcache there:

I don't think it requires you to traverse the path though!

Cool video, and certainly a great path with fantastic views! I'd do it no problem. Yes the path has fallen into disrepair a bit, but it can be walked,
no abseiling or prussiking gear needed, and there's a guide wire in most places I saw, so I'd rate it maybe 4.5 for the scare factor. If there was
a cache at the end I'd certainly log it. Can you imagine the fun they had building that path?

I got sweaty palms just watching the video so that's definitely a NO from me too!
Then again, if it meant logging a 5 terrain cache...

I'd go up there for sure, but I would probably use that safety cable where available.muzza wrote:Check out this pathway. Imagine a cache at the end.

I had seen the video a month or so back. Pretty freaky. But if I was visiting the area would consider it, except I don't tend to go into closed areas. So if it was signposted closed I wouldn't. If it was open I would.
Hmmm, wonder if there is a signpost at the other end? Have done some serious terrain places before I wouldn't have been if not for caching. But if it is open it is game.
Looks cool though. And yes, glad I didn't have to build the thing!
