Full-day route. A fast retreat is no longer always possible; route-finding and descent need attention, a delay leads to a late finish.
There are isolated dangerous spots, but they are short or well controlled by start time and line choice. The risk is usually clear and local.
A fall is usually well controlled: reliable gear close by, clear belays, terrain that does not lead to hitting ledges or the ground.
