This cache is a tribute to all the local geocachers I've met personally or was in Email contact with during my stay in South Africa. Thanks for placing all these awesome (mountain) caches!

Special thanks to Riisearch, Scottlem, Strandloper3, terunkie and Mountain Wanderer who invited me to wonderful hikes and adventures, helped me so much with tracklogs, directions and hints and made my time here a little more special!

If you choose to do the cache directly and go the shortest way it will be a moderate strenuous hike at about 10 km up and down. The last 2 km will be very steep and some boulder hopping is required. The swag (four digit padlock, duct tape and a little torch) in the container is not for exchange. The first three finders are free to take one of it each. The difficulty refers to the puzzle and to the fact that there are no other waypoints given. You will have to find a parking lot and a path up your own.
