Route CommentI dont think you mean the S ridge but the SW ridge. The difficulty is not TD+ but AD+ !!

Route Commentxray, my information says S ridge but it also could named SW ridge because it comes in that direction from the P 3.733 m. They could name S because the ridge goes south-wards when it projects from the summit. They grade the route as TD+.
