Geocache Description:

A straightforward trad that is approx 20ft up a very climbable tree on Shaldon Ness. Parking very nearby. It's perfectly possible to climb much higher, but the cache location is too perfect to climb past. Just go up for fun!

Since I started geocaching I've really come to enjoy the tree-climbs best. Now I've managed to put a few back out there around here.
 
The first King Of The Swingers was in what appears to be the tallest tree in Ashclyst Forest, and was quite challenging. This one is a much more straightforward climb. Everyone has different abilities and certainly I've met people who are far bigger monkeys than me, and far less intrepid ground-dwelling apes. I placed this cache with no equipment and it is rated with that in mind.
 
Do not attempt this cache without:
  • A pen.
That's probably it. Sensible people would not do it alone, just in case.
 
Nobody - not me, not geocaching.com, not your lucky pants - is responsible for your safety apart from YOU. Do not attempt if you are at all unsure. The cache is in quite a populated area, but most people passing are in vehicles and will not notice you and your dislocated hip at the bottom of the tree. Due to the nature of the area, please use stealth.
