Geocache Description:


This cache is located on a little known greenway in Alexandria, that has partially/mostly reopened after some redevelopment.

This is a companion cache to the nearby "beginner tree climb" cache:  Welcome to W & OD Greenway Traditional Geocache GC85841

This one is not a beginner tree climb.  This one is intended for folks who are looking for more of a challenge.  This one is much tougher, and can be dangerous.  Know your limits!  Don't get hurt.  Be safe.  Bring appropriate saftey gear, and most likely climbing gear.  It's a tough tree to climb.

At NO time when I was placing this cache did I feel the least bit scared or in any danger.  If you do at any time, you should probably stop.  Know your abilities.  There's no shame in passing on this one.  This one is for the connoisseurs of this type of thing.

There is plenty of parking on the street in the area.

Muggles!  There will be muggles and their mongrels almost for sure.  I suggest you develop a plan for that.  I used a modified clipboard method when placing the cache.

Please don't try to detatch the tether from the tree, or the cache from its tether.

Interesting pics of you up in the tree are encouraged!

Bring a pen.  I'll be checking the logbook and will unceremoniously remove any logs not present on the logbook.

The tree hosting the cache and the short wooden fence can be touched at the same time while standing on the paved trail, it's the only such tree there is.  The cache can be seen from below.

Have fun and be safe!
