Alpinist routes marked as footpaths

When you say “marked on OSM” what OSM map were you using? Some general purpose map, or one designed to show some idea of the difficulty involved in mountainous areas? Sometimes “general purpose” maps ignore specialist tags. Recently, there was this discussion about a potential way forward based on tagging, but the other side of the coin is “general purpose maps should not show paths that general purpose users can’t access”, and to resolve that we’d need to know which map it was.
