Very pleasant scramble to the top of Lineham Ridge. I found it to be "difficult" (Class 3/4) rather than "moderate" scramble, as described in Nugara's book. Deadly exposure on both sides in a few places, but rock is very good. "Easy" scramble to higher Picklejar Peak. The descent is tedious but straightforward.

I find sometimes Nugara's ratings are stiffer as well.

Yes, I agree. To be fair, in this particular case, there may have been an easier way to avoid the crux, but it didn't look so from above.
