Jagged lump looks more like Orion to me.

I'm probably leaning towards SBS and NNW's answers - perhaps it's Orion and Dorado from Procyon Peak area?

All very close now. One of the peaks is Dorado. I will give the nod to naming the other peak.

Correct NNW. It is Pegasus and Dorado from the Orion/Sirius saddle.
Chow for now. I will be overseas for 5 weeks chasing summer.

Lucky bugger. Although snow does have its attractions.

Fog, rock . . . fortunately I have plenty of that . . .

Well below that, doogs.
Ah, what the hell, I'm not in a mood to haggle at the moment - it's actually from PB Low Camp, on a particularly nasty, wet, windy, day (in other words, normal weather for the Southern Range).

All yours now,mate.

I didn't see where Low Camp was on my way up there (I was suffering a bit that day!)

Where am I/looking at??

That looks like Wylly amongst the cloud - you wouldn't have been out on the side of Victoria Cross maybe?

Should have gone all the way out to Bisdee. ;)

I'm a bit tired of all that fog. Going for some slightly higher cloud:

I am indeed, L_Cham. One of the least inspiring Abels around.

Could probably add Penny West to that list of uninspiring Abels.
This Abel though, is definitely one of the more inspiring, fantastic peaks!
