"Difficulty" difficulty ...


Recommended Posts

Hello cachers!

 

Just a quick question regarding the "difficulty/terrain" ratings.

 

Obviously I understand what "terrain" signifies, but to me "difficulty" is a little ambiguous.

 

Soooo ... is "difficulty" usually taken to mean "How much effort does it take to get *near* the cache location, above and beyond any terrain issues" or is it more likely to mean "How hard it is to find the cache once you're within, say, 100 ft." ?

 

I'm planning to set my first cache up next week, and I want to make sure I describe it properly!

 

Thanks.

PS ... found my second one today (Cold War no More) ... I'm still muddy!

That one's closer to the mark. ClayJar's rating only has one multiple-choice question for rating difficulty, so it's of limited help...

 

Check these discussions:

 

Difficulty Ratings from the General forum (and the old archived portion).

 

Difficulty Ratings from the old (archived) Getting Started forum.
