Terrain Level Classification Definitions

[+GO Geiger]

Could someone sum up what the different terrain levels are classified as?? For example I would consider a 1 would be flat ground and I assume a level 5 may be like climbing a mountain face. How are the other levels in between defined so that I can better search for caches more appropriate for different members of the family. For example a level 5 would not be good for my 3 year old but may be ok for the adults in the family.

Thanks for your help

This would be a good place to figure it out: http://www.geocaching.com/hide/rate.aspx

Here's another description of what the difficulty and terrain ratings mean, where you don't have to click on anything to see the descriptions:

I was looking for that but couldn't find it either!! Although I use the link Gitchee-Gummee posted when working out ratings for my caches.
