Du Cane Range high point / Mt Geryon is behind you, you are looking at Mt Hyperion and Perrins Bluff. It's a shallow saddle.

All yours, Last - but it was actually the Ducane Range High Point behind me.
I am in a shallow basin - which is not bad for some exposed camping.
There is a large drop to Lake Helios beyond the basin edge.

Thanks Eggs, I know where you mean. I had thought you were a bit further down the hill. Where was I?

Is it from Snowy North?
That looks like a pad.

Thanks, I haven't had a chance to get up there yet.

Next one should be pretty straight forward - Where am I standing?

Yes close enough. We were on South Col heading to Clytemnestra. Over to you eggs.

This is an unnamed tarn [although locals had a name for them]

Yes. That was the local name. But I note some near Walled Mt are also named that. These are a bit south from Artillery Knob, east of Cradle Mt.

Thanks, Eggs. I hadn't heard of the Walled Mtn ones. I just know the beautiful ones at Cradle. :)

Well there you go! Walled Mtn has been near the top of my list for a long time, but I still haven't got there.

Might get the ball rolling.

At first glance I thought it could be Little Hugel but after noticing the dead pines and the little creek I am much less sure. Also I have only been up there in whiteout and deep snow.
That looks like a pad.

Heading up PB?

EDIT:

I'm pretty positive it is. Here's a photo of mine looking up at PB...

Is it presumptuous of me to jump in with a new photo, as it's been 4 days?

Thanks.
This was the only spot that sheltered us from the wind, that's why the two tents are on top of each other!

I'm thinking Square Lake. If I'm right anyone can post a pic. I don't have anything available at the moment.
