<h1>Question Mark list conventions</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>The format for question mark lists is QM identifier, Quality Grade, Area
|
|
indicator, decription of QM. The QM numbers themselves are in the format
|
|
Discoverer identifier, Year of discovery, Cave identifier, serial number. If
|
|
you look at the html, you will find that the nearest survey station (without
|
|
its "<cavenumber>." prefix) is included in an html comment for almost all
|
|
leads.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>In general, an unpushed QM will have a link from its QM number in the
|
|
description to the list, and a link from the list to the relevant point in the
|
|
description. If there is no link, it means that I can't yet work out where the
|
|
QM is in the description, or the description doesn't yet exist :-).</p>

<dd>Not so promising, or requiring some effort (eg. a climb) </dd>
|
|
<dt>C</dt>
|
|
<dd>Pretty cruddy, or good but very hard to get to.</dd>
|
|
<dt>V</dt>
|
|
<dd>An aven which might be climbable, but not adequately assessed</dd>
|
|
<dt>X</dt>
|
|
<dd>A high, wet or unsafe-looking aven unlikely to be climbed</dd>
|
|
<dt>?</dt>
|
|
<dd>No-one writing this list actually knows!</dd>
|
|
</dl>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the quality grades are assigned by the explorers at the time, and
|
|
that subsequent discoveries may mean that the grade is optimistic, since the
|
|
lead may now drop into passage which wasn't then explored. Also, different
|
|
explorers have different ideas, or different waist sizes - one man's "A-lead"
|
|
may be another's "C-lead" :-(</p>
