The route was objectively far harder than normal. Pick this if conditions radically changed the character of movement or substantially increased the difficulty.
Multi-day route, usually around 2–5 days. Planned bivouacs, high self-reliance, difficult retreat; a fast exit and outside help are not guaranteed.
Serious objective danger over a noticeable part of the route or descent. The window of good conditions is fairly narrow, and the cost of a mistake is noticeably higher.
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.
