The Enchantment Basin, nestled in the midst of the Cashmere Crags, exhibits countless granitic outcrops and pinnacles. Described as €œtall, threatening spires that streak skyward like Dantesque flames€, the area is singularly scenic, and a scrambler's paradise. This a 3rd class scramble route with minimal technical requirements - rather rare for this region.
