Poll: sac_scale mountain_hiking or demanding_mountain_hiking?

When editing the wikipage of Key:sac_scale - OpenStreetMap Wiki after the recently approved proposal, I noticed this picture:

It is in the additional pictures section, however it does not have a sac_scale value attached so I think it is not helping much. It was added by u @Hungerburg. I guess it is meant to illustrate a property of trail continuity: T3/demanding_mountain_hiking, however if the text would be not there, I would probably assign T2/mountain_hiking.

So, let’s vote which one it is:

  • mountain_hiking
  • demanding_mountain_hiking

T3 for the rocky section in the foreground (would probably need my hands for balance, or a trekking pole), T2 for the visible trail in the background.

When I created the section “More pictures to aid in grading”, I deliberately left out the grade. The pictures instead are meant to exemplify language used in describing features in the table, that play into grading. So when “mountain_hiking” says “continuous trail”, this picture shows a non-continuous trail. But whether that is enough to change the grade left in discretion of mapper.

I would appreciate, when the newly added pictures also would be accompanied by such references to terms used in the specification.

The ones I added for strolling are from the proposal. I think that with such a gallery, it becomesquire straightforward what strolling is. Ideally there would be 5 or more pictures for each grade.

As a Swiss hiker I vote a T2+ here :stuck_out_tongue:
