The trail up to the saddle has some easy scrambling. From here on to Organ Needle you will pass the crux, a small steep scramble with a rope to help hikers up and down. If you are reasonably fit and comfortable with easy scrambling then don't let the crux deter you! It is quite manageable and the rewards from the summit are well worth it.
