Actually, my understanding was that 4 was for a cache that was very hard, 
but didn't require anything but the cacher.  If a cache required any 
equipment beyond the cacher, then it was a 5.

Perhaps they should look at having a different, or expanded rating system 
for the terrain of the caches where there is a star rating and then some 
sort of follow on designation for equipment.  Perhaps something like 3B for 
3 star that requires a bike.
