Zottener Wasserfall: the WI4 is a guess
A spontaneous outing with Maxi, more or less a single pitch. We had no topo.
Machine-translated from the German original. The German version is the one I actually wrote.
Spontaneous climbing, more or less one pitch, and the ice was brittle in places.
We had no topo with us. So the WI4 is a guess — it could equally be a number below or above, depending on who you ask and when.
That’s the rule rather than the exception on smaller falls anyway. There’s a line, it looks climbable, and you get on it. The grade afterwards is more of a memory aid than a statement.
