Rate The Terrain Game General Geocaching Topics Geocaching Forums You should apply some common sense when you rate terrains. ground zero might be very rocky, but if you only must walk one or two steps into the rocky area, then it's not a big deal. The difficulty rating covers time and effort in finding the cache (and possibly in signing the log) once at the coordinates. the terrain rating covers the physical effort of arriving at the coordinates.

Rate The Terrain Game General Geocaching Topics Geocaching Forums If you are looking to see what to expect for each difficulty and terrain, i recommend reading this d t guide. The answer lies in the difficulty and terrain (d t) rating system – your gps guided roadmap to what awaits. when cache owners create a hide, they assign subjective ratings from 1 5 for both intellectual challenge (difficulty) and physical access (terrain). Geocachers use their own calculations to mark the difficulty level of geocaches on the websites. you may find several forums on geocaching that try to formulate their own standard for determining difficulty and terrain for geocaching. I've been told by the local reviewer that anything rated a "1" terrain must be wheelchair accessible, but i'm finding out that isn't the case. recently, i was caching in another state, and went after a cache that had a "1" terrain rating. the walk to the cache was 2 10 of a mile through a swamp.

The terrain rating in the op's example should help clarify that you don't need to get involved with the steep boulder strewn ravine. i'd leave that alone, as a clue of sorts.
