    Questioning or playing down official SAC ratings is completely out of the question for me. The so-called "social media alpinism" is increasingly being criticized due to the increase in irresponsible users.

    Hiking

    The ascent to Gemsfairenstock is rated a bit very high in terms of difficulty with T4, there are two key points one is on a very narrow, steep, exposed path below the actual key point. Extreme caution is required here, especially when it is wet. And the actual key point below the Gemsfairenjoch, this is secured with a chain, but I find it more dangerous and was only used for orientation. In the ascent direction, keep to the left of the chain and of course keep to the right of the chain on the descent.
