In reply to hairy51:
I did the standard S Ridge (not the Integrale) about 35 years ago, and I don't remember it being anywhere near VS, except for one very short pitch of about 20 feet that was probably 4c (English) for a few moves, but felt harder in big boots. But very short-lived, a kind of boulder-problem type thing unlike anything else on the route. Perhaps one or two little patches of v diff to severe on the whole route, but mostly much easier, mere scrambling.
