No trail is visible, that she might be following along, just bare
scree. Hands not needed here. Mappers that read
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sac_scale will most certainly
set "demanding_mountain_hiking", alone from the similarity of the
scene and the sample illustration there. Only the Wiki pictures for
the *alpine*hiking grades show scrambling.

If sac_scale gets applied so wrong, does that mean, it is too complicated?

No, we need a base, that allows to shrink the "path" space, so
reasonable expectations can be held, without reading small-print.
