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 official route is difficult and describes the Veudale gorge as the most challenging section. An easier return avoiding the gorge is explicitly offered. No head-for-heights requirement is stated, so the standard route is rated moderate for exposure.
