Stunning Scenery, would rate the difficulty as average. It was lengthy and there are plenty of places to trip over or twist your ankle but nothing too exposed or to be worried about. While the forecast for the day we went merely said cloudy, the clouds themselves were at the same height at the summit and so for one the view was completely obscured at the top. On top of that there was sporadic rainfall which made everything all the more muddy and slippery on the chain climb up. Would definitely recommend bringing a change of clothes after this. Others said you'd need a jacket up top but since you're working pretty hard to get there, as long as you're not up there early morning or for too long you'd be alright.
