Is that Bathurst Harbour? Had to look up the name its south of. 5 times as deep as Bathurst. Learn something every day.
Nice photo.
Can't see a trig. Not much help, but old f'arts probably don't get the same admonishing as the kids :D

Lovely photo Dan.
I suspect we are looking into Machonocie with Folded, Remote, Frankland and Secheron beyond.
That might put you on Greystone Bluff

I don't recall anything like that on the way up Orion. OK, the weather was a bit different but the rocks don't change much despite rain, wind and fog . . .

Looking at the times the photo was taken relative to everything else, I believe it is from the small saddle at the top of Orion. This is from the same spot.

Anyway, all yours NNW!

Be nice to be there in those conditions. For some reason it's always been a bit off when I've been in that area. Still to climb Procyon.

From my latest foray outdoors: at this point last Wednesday I was very close to achieving a long-desired goal. What was it?
