Classifications Of Klettersteig Switzerland Tours Difficulties

To estimate the difficulties or complexities of a route, classification scales are the best examples. Using assigned levels a person can make a vision of whether you should choose the route or not.

Similarly, as with mountaineering classification systems, there are many different scales for klettersteigs as well. Here traditionally commands a clear inconsistency produced by historical and differing regional development.

“The Werner scale - Paul Werner is the author of an extensive publication “Klettersteig Atlas – the Alps”. This classification scale has 2 series - addressing the difficulty and complexity of the protected route. Understand it is a better way:

KS1:

• Secured marked hiking route and quite light protected route.
• Rugged rocky terrain, in natural rock passes or artificially built routes
• Protect in terms of chains, steel cable, railing; all these perform predominantly only for increasing the feeling of certainty in exposed terrain
• Without artificial protection, this would be mountaineering terrain of UIAA difficulty Level I.

KS2:

• Light protected route
• Somewhat rugged rocky terrain
• Artificial protection works for advance progress in terms of steel cable, stemples, pins, and ladders
• Without artificial protection, this would create climbing at UIAA difficulty levels I-II.

KS3

• Slightly more difficult protected route
• Rugged rocky terrain, the most of the route secured in terms of steel cable, stemples, pins, or iron ladders
• Secured sections need a specific amount of strength in the arms
• Without protection, this would constitute a lightly or somewhat difficult climbing terrain (UIAA level III).

KS4

• Quite rugged rocky terrain
• Artificial protection works in terms of steel cables, on more complex areas Such routes need enough arm strength
• Without the protection, this would constitute somewhat difficult (UIAA III) or extremely difficult mountaineering terrain (UIAA level IV)

Other then that there are KS5 and KS6 are also, two classifications that explain about the difficulties of route klettersteig Switzerland tours!
