class a
means
you absolutely got it
& this is normally applied only to marked tripoints
where typically you could put your fingertip on the dimple or
crosshairs or apex that the monument itself uses to represent
the tripoint
or it could also be the precise pinnacle of an unmarked summit
tripoint

IS SITTING ON THE TOP OF THE MARKED CROSS OF THE TRIPOINT STONE, LIKE SAY ON THE ARNOLDSTEIN, THE ULTIMATE CLASS A ? MY GUESS IS, MAYBE NOT ENOUGH.


class b
means
you have basically been there as best as could be
& this is normally applied only to unmarked points
where the range of possible precision does vary
but it presupposes the same maximum diligence as class a


class c
means
you got close enough to actually see the tripoint
or else to clearly visualize the tripoint location
 

HERE YOU OBVIOUSLY MEAN WITH YOUR OWN EYES IN THE TERRAIN, RIGHT?


class d
means
you got a distant glimpse
& only a general sense of the location

class e
means
you earnestly tried but your objective completely eluded you
& for whatever reason & at whatever distance
you never even saw the exact tripoint location

THESE WET TRIPOINTS COULD BE VISUALIZED BY USING LASERGADGETS. SAY THIS ATCHLTN TRIPOINT LOCATED ON RHEIN RIVER. GET YOUR LASERS READY, GET THREE GUYS IN THE POSITION BY THE WITNESSMARKERS ON THE RHEIN'S SHORES AND BEAM. THEN YOU´LL GET YOURSELF FAIRLY GOOD PICTURE OF WHERE EXACTEMENT THIS TRIPOINT IS LOCATED. THEN, WHILE BEAMING, EVERYONE CAN GET INTO THEIR CANOE AND PADDLE STRAIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF BEAMS! PERHAPS THEN YOU CAN SAY, "I REACHED THE WET TRIPOINT", OR WILL IT STILL BE A CLASS "AS CLOSE AS YOU COULD GET"?


e monument
so some people have an especially hard time with this one


of course there have been many other proposed systems
& many other proposed classes to add onto this system
including some great parodies all the way down to class zzz
as in only dreaming you tried

ONE CLASS COULD BE TO FIND THE PICTURE OF THE TRIPOINT IN THE INTERNET!!!!
