Honestly assessing your skill level is another matter. It's not just rope work and setting protection, it's route finding and decision making in an alpine mountineering environment. Assessing weather risks, snowfields, ice and other micro conditions are critical for a safe attempt. Plenty of people wing it and get lucky with good conditions, but if the unexpected happens, things get dangerous fast. Overall it's not that difficult to those who are experienced, but difficult enough to see dozens of rescues every year.
