Grade 1: Suitable for family outings; mostly short distances or walks along gently graded paths or tracks with little altitude gain.

Grade 2: Moderate walking, mostly on clear footpaths with a reasonable amount of height gain. Walkers should be adequately shod and equipped.

Grade 3: More strenuous routes on sometimes rough or unclear paths. Some modest scrambling or use of ladders, fixed ropes, etc, may be involved in rare instances. A head for heights may be called for. On some of these routes there will be passes to cross, some glacial travel (individual sections will be marked in the text) and possibly screes to contend with. In short, true Alpine walking. There will be steep ascents and descents, and fairly long distances involved. Walkers attempting these should be fit and well equipped.
