Difficulty
Physical effort, technical demands, trail conditions, ascent and duration — this says nothing about exposure.
Fear of heights
Exposure only: drop-offs, narrow paths on steep slopes, traverses, bridges and ladders. Assessed independently of the difficulty grade.
Why this rating?
This is a T4 alpine ridge route explicitly recommended only for sure-footed hikers with a head for heights. Around 1.5 km follows a partly exposed ridge; a steep step is protected by fixed ropes and other passages use climbing aids.
