It might seem tempting to climb the saddle directly, especially if your goal is just one of the two peaks, but don't try it unless you are equipped for Class 5 conditions or are comfortable free soloing 5.7 (not me).

The Class 4 northwest couloir that can be used to attain Chisholm's summit ridge just a couple hundred feet below the summit is partially visible near the left end of the picture.
