Mt Hoffman hike is "strenuous"?

I'm backpacking the HSC loop in early August and planning to spend a night per camp along the way (with the exception of Sunrise where I will take an extra day to do Clouds Rest). Anyways day two of the trip I'm hiking from Glen Aulin to May Lake and someone suggested I could probably summit Mt. Hoffman as well that day. I'm not expecting the short trips between camps to pose a problem for me, but was a bit worried when I saw the hike up Mt. Hoffman was ranked as "strenuous." Is it really a strenuous trip (only 4 miles)?
