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.
Multi-day route, usually around 2–5 days. Planned bivouacs, high self-reliance, difficult retreat; a fast exit and outside help are not guaranteed.
Sustained moderate danger. Good timing and conditions help, but do not remove the risk entirely.
Generally controllable, but with gaps, awkward placements or isolated sections where the consequences can be unpleasant.

Placements are generally good and secure, though they require some searching and deliberate placement technique.
