Perhaps some clarification is needed in the section on positioning geohashers for the team stack?

In the case of a multistory building or a bridge, how could hashers be expected to position themselves with such precision?

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)
