S4Seriousness

Big alpine day. Long mandatory section, non-trivial retreat or descent; a pacing or line mistake can already push you into darkness.

O2Objective danger

There are isolated dangerous spots, but they are short or well controlled by start time and line choice. The risk is usually clear and local.

P2Fall consequences

Generally controllable, but with gaps, awkward placements or isolated sections where the consequences can be unpleasant.
