ELThe crux section was climbed, but the route was not finished in full. This is useful when the crux itself defines the line's difficulty.
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.

Bad weather every day. One of the clients failed to acclimatize. Turned back from 5000. One tent was torn, survived 3 storms.
