Wet green rock gave us no grip. We had to turn back.

I have to say scramble wise Lineham maybe moderate scramble as Nugara's book rates, but considering exposure, it might be better to say difficult scramble.

Dry condition made the scramble so easy.

Summit view. As may ridges and peaks you see here, most of them do not have an official name. Still you can see Mist Mountain far from here.
