On some trip reports and guides I have seen references to a brush rating (something like brush rating class III). Googling the term I have found the “Cascade Brush and Bushwhack Rating System”. Is this some sort of “standard”?
I annotate my maps with informal descriptions about the terrain, and I think it would be useful to use standard ratings for sharing these notes with others.

Variously attributed to IBM, Microsoft, …

Me either. Nice idea, though.
