I am doing this route for the first time. This route is generally very busy on weekends, be prepared to stay at uncomfortable locations for long (so Resting Sling would be mandatory). Don't underestimate this one. Some people even mark it as C/D. There might be some spots where you will not have any place to keep your feet. You might be using your arm strength to the max + technique to shift your weight properly.

I am planning to go tomorrow, As a plan B, if there is rain, we will do the A/B klettersteig route (Gelbe wand). The event is not canceled. Bring rainproofs

Fabio, I check Berfex, Saturday is no rain, at max, there will be clouds. I understand the fear and the risk. But please don't spread the wrong information. I won't make a decision to do the C grade visa Ferrata either if the conditions are bad.
