Is this path a T6 or a climbing route?

Help and support

There are a few hiking path below Rigi Kulm that requires using some climbing which are “easy” enough to be classified as a T5.

Now we have one additional path with the same type of rocks and same type of rope, but it’s much more challenging and the rope starts only about 2m above ground. Very likely this is done on purpose to make it clear that you can only do that route if you’re able to climb the first 2 meters on your own.

I hesitate between marking it as a climbing route or as a T6. Anyone knows what would be the best approach?

Here my first attempt to map it, documented with the Panoramax image:

For comparison, here is a Panoramax sequence showing a T5 route that is similar but less challenging:

Wow. T6 might better indicate the danger there actually given the exposure and height. You wouldn’t approach this section like a normal climbing route by placing crash pads or ropes for additional protection.

BTW, based on photo it should be within natural=bare_rock and outside of Relation: 13172270 | OpenStreetMap

it being within meadow also falsely suggests much gentler slope

edit: opened Note: 5497635 | OpenStreetMap so it will be not forgotten
