Conditions made the route slightly harder: worse ice, softer snow, patches of wet rock, a less convenient bergschrund. But the line was still recognizably the same.
A limit-of-a-day or 1–2 day route. A bivouac is possible or likely, and retreat and descent are serious work on their own.
Objective danger is minimal and does not define the character of the route. Dangerous spots are either rare or insignificant.
Generally controllable, but with gaps, awkward placements or isolated sections where the consequences can be unpleasant.
