Even before the turn of the century, when the opening up of the
Eastern Alps to tourists was completed and the number of mountaineers
increased by leaps and bounds, a start was made on reducing the
difficulty of specific hard sections of popular climbs by means of wire
ropes and iron rungs.
The climbing aids which have been fixed with great effort and skill on
difficult, sometimes vertical, and even overhanging rock enable even
non-climbers to do routes which formerly were Grades III, IV and V.
However two conditions must be fulfilled without qualification:
absolute freedom from dizziness, and a certain degree of mountain
experience, including not only sure-footedness but also an awareness of
alpine dangers.
