Need beta for Iron Cap Mountain east ridge

Short version:

 

Anyone have information about Iron Cap Mountain's east ridge? Beta or Pics?

 

Long version

 

I'm planning a trip on the Alpine Lakes High Route. The trip is just a scramble and so I'm not bringing technical gear. Normally, the route from Tank Lakes to Chetwoot goes to Iron Cap Pass and then down a valley and up into Azurite and Azure lakes before going across to Chetwoot. Some parties choose to traverse under Iron Cap Mountain and then take the north spur which is a mellow scrambling route. I was hoping to take a more direct route via Iron Cap Mountain's east ridge, but I could find little information about the east ridge. Beckey doesn't mention it and I couldn't find any trip reports here or on other sites with distinct pictures of the east ridge.

 

Has anyone here been up that way? What is it like? Is it 3rd/4th/low 5th? Does anyone have any pictures?

 

Here is the east ridge seen from the NNE in Google Earth. It looks like it would go as a scrambling route, but...
