Geocache Description:

This is a fun cache with a difficult climb to GZ. There are two steep hills: the first hill is the longest, and already has a rope to assist in climbing. The second hill is shorter, but with no rope. You must scale both to reach the cache. Please be discreet when searching for the cache, as I believe the neighbor kids come there often.

This cache is any geomom's nightmare: two steep hills, going up 20 feet, and a lone rope leading to the top. I'm sure all parents can visualize something bad happening, resulting in broken bones. But fear not, geomothers! Unless your child weighs 300 pounds or more, the rope and the object it is tied to will most likely remain secure. This is not to say there is no danger at attempting this cache, but the odds are on your side… Bring closed toed shoes , and maybe some gloves to prevent rope burns. You may bring a rope with you and try to lasso an object to climb the second hill, but it is possible to climb without one. There are various hand holds to be used, such as burrows, roots, and small trees. DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS CACHE IN THE RAIN! Climbing could cause the hill to crumble when wet. The hide should be fairly easy once you are at the top. Please try your best not to trample the foliage and make the cache location more obvious. Use your own judgment to see if this is appropriate for you. I've climbed it fine, but then I am only 12. Search for this cache at your own risk!

EDIT: 9/6/11 Replaced the cache in a different spot. Now when you climb up from Hill #2, turn LEFT and continue until you hit a stick barrier about knee high. Then begin searching. to climb the second hill, it works best to use the small burrows and roots as hand and footholds.

EDIT: 1/2/11 Moved the cache again, due to a long fall and some water in the container. I've updated the hint to reflect the new location.
Congratulations to Fish Soup for his speedy FTF!!!
