An ascent that differs from the main line.
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.
Sustained moderate danger. Good timing and conditions help, but do not remove the risk entirely.
High consequences of a fall on important terrain: poor protection, long run-outs, weak belays, or the risk of landing on a ledge or lower terrain.

Placements are generally good and secure, though they require some searching and deliberate placement technique.
Translated from Russian
There is no water on Gruzinskaya polka, the lowest platform is safe, the upper ones are hit.
