At about 50ft. from the cache you should be below it and continue past for about 200ft. till you see a very large rock that has fallen free of a large, tall black colored cliff. Now short scramble up to the top and puts you on the SHT. Keep an eye on the blue hack marks either on trees or on the ground. Go to the cache.
