I don't know that "awful" would be the right word. I'm an avid hiker and
routinely tackle extreme surfaces (short of true verticle cliff faces). I
had a great time on the hike itself, but because this cache was so poorly
documented I ended up doing a 5/5 cache with expert-only climbs of several
hundred feet when I wasn't expecting it (and therefore wasn't prepared for
it).
Just ticked me off a little. But actually, it *could* have been a really
fun ascent - *IF* I had been prepared for it :-(

Oh, not at all! We've had a few of these "mishaps" where we end up
approaching from the totally wrong direction. I posted it becuase it was
just *crazy* that this took 8+ hours, and scored a DNF! I very much see
the humor of our predicament today, and thought everyone else would enjoy
it as well!
