Climbing "Advokátův konec" (grade 4) on Matterhorn is a significant undertaking, despite its relatively low grade. While technically not excessively difficult in terms of pure climbing ability, the route's exposure, altitude, and objective dangers make it a serious mountaineering experience.

A grade 4 climb on the Matterhorn will still require solid ice axe and crampon skills, good physical fitness, and excellent route-finding ability. The rock can be loose and fragile, and the weather is notoriously unpredictable, changing rapidly from sunshine to blizzard conditions.

Successfully summiting via "Advokátův konec" is a testament to both technical skill and mental fortitude in a challenging high-alpine environment.
