Geocache Description:

Wherigo cartridges can be played on smartphones and specific GPS units. What are Wherigo Caches? Click here to find out!

Stairs of Death
Run up BYU's imfamous "Stairs of Death" as you imitate the legendary boxer Rocky Balboa. Make it to the top before the 60 second timer expires and win the coordinates for the cache!

Download this cartridge here.

I was able to make the run in well under 60 seconds, however, due to the muggle factor, I've added some extra time. In order to avoid the most muggles, I recommend doing your run in the morning (before classes start), evening, or on weekends.
Feel free to post pictures like this!

The Rocky Workout Series

This wherigo is part of the "Rocky Workout Series". Each of these cartridges has been designed to mold you into a champion! Each will require physical stamina in order to obtain the cache, however, if one member of a group completes the task, feel free to bring the rest of the group along to the geocache. Like any puzzle cache, please DO NOT share the final coordinates with anyone who was not present when the task was completed. Also, only the username of the cacher who downloaded the cartridge may be submitted to the high score list.
