    Mountaineering

    Quite idyllic view and if you are on the horseshoe route you can trace back almost the complete set of ridges from here (and see other people scrambling up there).

    Mountaineering

    A great spot to cool off your feet after a long day of hiking. Tip: Bring some spare socks and a small microfibre towel.
