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.
Part-of-the-day route or a short day from base. Approach and descent are broadly straightforward, route-finding is rarely a problem.
Objective danger is minimal and does not define the character of the route. Dangerous spots are either rare or insignificant.
A fall is usually well controlled: reliable gear close by, clear belays, terrain that does not lead to hitting ledges or the ground.
