Greg is being modest - it's not anywhere near grade three; it's dead verticle and long. The first ascentionist is a known sandbagger.
I have climbed Ingredient 16 twice. Both times it has proven to be a burly 40 m of near to dead vertical ice. It is a spectacular pitch but could easily be called grade 4.
