Alpinist routes marked as footpaths

[_MisterY]

The title of this thread is misleading. Apparently, the route is marked as path, not as footpath. Perhaps that does not make too much difference but there are endless discussions on what path is and/or how to mark routes such as the one here.

This is also a valid path:

I’ve uploaded two photos: and Some from Grimming might also be interesting, if you need. The one I’ve posted in the “Documenting problems” examples.

and is marked as such.

one could still risk their life trying to hike that route thinking it was a “path”.

Irrespective of the case, if one feels they are risking their lives on a route (and are not comfortable with it), they should turn around and go back.
