Not Recommended for kids  Takes more than an hour  Difficult climbing  Available at all times  Recommended at night  Available during winter  Cliff / falling rocks  Stealth required  Flashlight required  Medium hike (1km-10km) 

This is a puzzle/multi. The cache is not at the listed coordinates,
but the first waypoint is not too far away. Solving "Que Sera Syrah" (GC23C5J) will give you a leg up for approaching the ciphers,
but not necessarily for finding the clues in the field.

Do not attempt to approach the final from the south- and please respect private property at all times! See Vort's post below for more context.

Congratulations to Mtn_Goat and Spivey for co-FTF!

Wow! What an adventure. THeSkuLL solved the multi and has had it on his bucket list for a while. Since I'm moving to Texas next week we decided one more hike is in order. We dnf'd a couple on the way, skipped a couple others since we were running out of daylight, and made it to the final of Tragedy. More snow than I anticipated, but frozen toes and a bad case of the shivers from the cold was well worth the adventure. Sl, thanks!

Cool

That smiley was there to denote that I had found the cache and to at least have it logged before heading back down, just in case Tragedy occurred.. I was on a final hike with crumbcrunchers before she heads to Texas. The hike up was great, but wasn't without its issues. We fulfilled this quest and headed down the mountain. Ugh! I thought it was going to be nice day, and it probably was in the sunlight. We spent all day except a short few minutes in the shade of the hillside. We started at 9am and, as we finally hit some switchbacks on the road below, it was 4pm. Darkness and even worse cold crept in quickly. It was time to call in a rescue. Thanks, MC, for the ride!! We may still be out there, frozen, if not for you!! Glad to say I probably won't be back up there. The few we missed will just have to stay missed. On the bright side, I may be ready for the Incline.
Traded pathtag for mine.
TFTC and the Fun!!

Looked around for stage 1 today. Not sure how long ago stage 1 was found, but there is burn marking in the area. I considered that I should need to climb, but I was still in work clothes. I'll add it to Watch to see if any maintenance/finds happen. Frown

I've been wanting to do this one for awhile. Wrangled the final coords out of the cipher and I'm hoping to grab the smiley in the near future.
