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?
The route has a very steep climb through the Trift gorge and later follows a long singletrail in hillside terrain above the Mattertal. No explicit secured exposed passages are stated in the retrieved official information, so the exposure is assessed as moderate.
