I agree with Alan. UIAA I is scrambling and UIAA easy solo. I remember that I climbed Cima Tosa in the Brenta dolomites eons ago. It's graded UIAA II+, what ever that means. In reality it was walking and then a somewhat exposed 20 or so meter high wall of exposed (easy) solo. Would have been a lot easier, had I not climbed the chimney and got stuck with the hikin' poles on my rucksack.
So for going up, a rope was not needed (was leading VS at that time). But had the exposed section being longer, then a rope and some gear would have been nice, for simul climbing. A rope would have been nice, to get down... but not really needed.
So depending on whom you go with and a bit more about the route, a rope (50m half rope.. or perhaps even shorter, like 30m) might be a nice thing to have. Prolly no need for pitching though.
