Leader's notes

This trip is not very strenuous; the pace will be on the slow side of moderate. 2 of the 3 peaks are technically quite easy, while Pinnacle is T4. This is a good trip to try for your first T4 as the T4 portion is fairly short. I'm also interested in visiting the tarn just north of the saddle between Pinnacle and The Castle.
