According to the SAC, it is T4, not T6 (at least in the summer when Grossi Chrinne is snow-free - always check on Swisstopo the day before).
This route avoids the via ferrata (Schwarzhorn Klettersteig), which requires ferrata equipment. The route to the summit is T3 (starting from the Chrinnenboden cable car station).
[EDIT] After the hike:
To get to Grossi Chrinne and then down, you have to use a cable, chains and metal steps (not to be confused with Kletterstieg route). This is not a route for beginners; you need to feel comfortable climbing up/down with the face toward the chains/cable during the descent and ascent. However, it is nothing extreme. The most uncomfortable/annoying part was the route after the via ferrata part, when it led down and up to Schwarzhorn and again down. It was very steep, and there was a very fine gravel and sand, and no big rocks to hold on to, so it was very easy to slip. The rest of the route was technically very easy.
The total ascent is also closer to 1900m than to 1750m that is shown by hiking buddies.
