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.
Mixed picture: recurring run-outs, dubious placements, slabs, ledges or swings. A fall may end in injury.

Many dubious or thin placements in a row; precision and patience are needed, with little margin for error.
Placements are generally good and secure, though they require some searching and deliberate placement technique.
