Talk:Multiple elevations achievement

From Geohashing


I support this, mostly because I'm a pilot and I could hope to some day pull of the simultaneous air and land geohashes (with the help of a friend, of course). Neimster : 33, -97 (talk) 17:03, 3 June 2013 (EDT)

  • Perhaps some clarification is needed in the section on positioning geohashers for the team stack? I know it was just pasted over from the Stacking achievement page, but as I read it now it sounds like it requires that all parties involved be directly over the top of each other. In the case of a multistory building or a bridge, how could hashers be expected to position themselves with such precision? I understand that in the cliff example it would be impossible for one person to be directly over another, but I don't think it's fair to invalidate such a situation and yet allow others to roam within their GPS margin of error. I don't really see the need to nit pick like that when in every other hashing situation the margin of error is accepted as "good enough". Mystrsyko (talk) 13:09, 17 September 2013 (EDT)

I have a few points to make, mostly based on the discussions on the two original achievements.

  • I prefer the 2 meter vertical separation rule to anything about GPS accuracy
  • I think having someone at the top and the bottom of a vertical cliff at the hashpoint should be allowed; it's unlikely enough anyway and it's just as much of a noteworthy accomplishment
  • I disagree with the rule that limits it to the use of pre-existing structures (which wasn't copied to this page, I'm not sure if that was intentional or not). Sure, taking a ladder to the hash is a different sort of challenge to waiting for one to fall on a bridge that you can get on top of and underneath, but it would still give an interesting story and pictures.

But irregardless of whether people agree with these points, I still support the achievement as a whole. --PeterRoder (talk) 00:08, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

  • Support but note that it's similar to lapsed suggested achievements 'Over and under' and 'Stacking' (as pointed out in the Discord). Arlo (talk) 00:21, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
  • I support integrating. "Over and Under" was mine, long long ago (although I'm using the banner I made then again now!). Michael5000 (talk) 20:10, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

Support, and it seems like that has been the consensus across the board for over a decade. --KerrMcF (talk) 02:40, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
