Description    Deutsch  ·  English

Aloft on a beauty rock in the surf resides this cache.
The rock consist of very solid but sometimes crumbly and very edged stone.

At the same time this rock is a memorial site of the fish davit Iván who lost his life in the ocean in an unknown manner. To remember him, there is a plate on the top of the rock which can´t be discovered by normal visitors which don´t climb on top.
The inscript can be read in the crypted part of this cache description or on the spot.

 

WARNING:

This cache is very dangerous and can only be done on calm sea conditions.
Everyone who wants to search for this cache must be very familiar with the ocean, rocks and freeclimbing (climbing without safety equipment). Even if we point some risks arising, we cannot show all risks nowhere near enough, so its up to you to cache very responsible for your own and other persons.

- sea dwellers e.g. sea urchins & crabs as well as flies and birds
- edge and sometimes crumbly rocks above and submerged
- shallow water caused by reef and rock
- wind, ocean currents, wake and pounding of the waves
- fall hazard from high altitude and into dead water
- many rifts and holes on top of and inside the rock (with the possibility to fall into)
- sunburn
- ...

As every cache you do it on your own responsibility!
Always do this cache with a partner!


Remarks:

If you want to lighten your climbing action you should read the encrypted hint.

Rugged and water-resistant footgear which can be used while swimming plus suitable for climbing is necessary.

Please log every visit online in place.

Additional hint  

On the left side of the rock there is a small hollow were you can climb more easy, if you swim there.
You will find the cache under loose cobbles, comparatively near to the upper end of the way up.
