Itinerary description
Beautiful day hike. Not complicated but I would agree on moderate. I extended the hike getting to the three no-name peaks (not real peaks). The last one- I recommend to get there and back the way I returned. There is quite a vertical wall to climb the way I took to get up (I rock climb) but thought the risk of slipping and injuring myself in such a remote place was just an unnecessary risk. Than it is better to follow the way there, I took a steep and perhaps snaky short cut. Or do not follow all the way there. But the views are magnificent and the peaks themselves spacious and safe.

Engagement Cave. Small but way nicer to camp than at the Beauty. 1-2 people or up to 4 not too comfortable.
