I keep thinking Richmond Crag, but there's no unnamed pool/tarn/lake that would give you that angle on it, so I'm obviously way off base.

Looks like the back of Hugel... Is it that little tarn just west of The Hippogriff?

Yep it's on the Hippogriff. My campsite for my first night of the Gell/Cheyne circuit.

This one has been bugging me for hours, until I finally realised that's Eldon Peak on the left. Which would put you maybe on Read?

Thanks. Should have been sooner. Kept getting the angles wrong. But that rock outcropping is really quite distinctive once you realise which area you're in. :roll:

How about this?

Not Sprent, but you're in the right quarter of the state.

Didn't get to Curly, but you are still slowly moving closer.

Only one other forum member I know of has been to this peak.

I didn't go out, that was a solo trip by my companion. And there are a fair few others here who have been out to that one.

At least you're looking at the right trip.

There is a peak at 1038 between the Spires and Rocky High Innes. The List has no name.
It does not fit your clues because you would pass it on the way out to RHI.
So maybe the slightly off set peak at 952m looking over Reverened creek?

The clues would make me think it's from southern cone.

Southern Cone is closest so far, but still not quite right.

Sorry eggs, but this one has a name.

Going by the sequence of photos, the date and the time, it can't be anywhere else other than White Pyramid. Obviously looking just past the side of The Camel.

ps: That was fun.
