Route description says head 'westerly' from the ponds on the map to the saddle point and then north to the summit. This is precisely what we did, heading west from the ponds to the most obvious saddle point, but we found ourselves on a ridge that would've required low 5th class climbing to traverse. After backtracking we headed to what would've been NW from the ponds to gain the Druid plateau and then route was obvious to the summit.
