DNF this cache, despite all hands on deck searching. Found a very likely spot, but it may have been muggled. Great place to visit, views were terrific.
We were so thrilled to have this cache as found. It was such a hard journey to the top but well worth the effort . Thank you so much Burton's.
This was really disappointing. We spent quite a while looking in the belief that it wasn’t on the cairn and must have turned over every rock within 30m. We finally deduced that despite the hint saying otherwise, the notes of others indicated that it was in fact on the cairn. Apart from a superficial look, we couldn’t find it as the whole thing is extremely precarious, and several times we almost brought it down as removal of one rock here and there had a disturbing domino effect. If it IS on the cairn, I feel it needs to be moved.
Turns out to be an expensive DNF, as it costs you $35 to get here.

DNF'd this one. Looked high and low and was certian it was not where it would be obvious. But where else??? All the way from Canada to DNF 
Found the cache ok but took a bit of retreiving. Stunning 360 views from here. Thx Burton's for the hide.
FTF! 
The Wowee Track is a good bit of fun with some great views - the vistas are best summed up by the track name! Cache took a bit of finding and retrieving. It certainly wasn't ON, but it was well IN - I think it must have slipped from its position. I used various tools to try and extract it (and lost a bit of skin from my hands as well in the process
), and got there in the end. Hopefully it will be easier for the next finder - knee-high would be a good place to start

Took pathtag. Thanks Burton's for the cache and for enticing me to this area!
