This is more an "easy" than a "moderate" scramble in the ideal conditions. I don't recall any real scrambling until near the summit to avoid a snowfield. The "moderate" rating is probably justified since the terrain is very steep and loose.
I sticked to the ridge crest to avoid the snowfield near the summit, which was a solid difficult scramble. A no-slip terrain. Ice-axe came useful for last 100m on a steep slope. The snowfield should be gone in a week or two.
I highly recommend the King Creek Ridge approach. Went back via the canyon and wasted lots of time and energy. The water was really high and the bushwhacking sucked.
