βeta: The Queenstown guide is currently (Jan '23) out of print, though Small Planet in Queenstown have a shop copy they are happy for you to peruse. I don't know what grade the locals give it (or indeed what grading system is used for NZ Alpine routes), but UKC appear to be giving this a (UK) scrambling grade of 1. Whatever it is, it's not that - although it's obviously possible to do it as an unroped scramble, I can't see how it could be less than grade 3, given there were passages of Diff/V Diff climbing.
