The infamous. Almost been there twice. Might be there 4 times this summer! I was a bit put off when you said it might be a little harder, as it was the first place that came to mind. But when you mentioned the ridge word, I thought I'd better ask...
As you are most gracious, I shall take my turn.

50 views, no bites. There's only 158 to choose from. 
Even if you haven't been there, thousands of people would have viewed this from nearby. It looks quite dramatic, even though other nearby Abels command much more attention.

You're in the right area, but a lot less people climb this one. It's well off-track.

It's been a while. Maybe Perrins Bluff?

Not Perrins, but I believe we climbed that on the same day.

Reminds me of looking at Bastion Bluff/Ironstone from Cummings Head,
Or possibly looking at part of Ben Lomond from perhaps Ben Nevis??
Just to break the ice. Going from the limited places I've visited

Other option I can think of would be Projection Bluff looking at Drys, or vice versa

Correct in thinking about the Tiers, but still too far east. This is off track.

OK, searching list map for possibilities. WAG - On Nells Bluff overlooking the gully to its east (Lobster Rivulet)?

Thanks for jumping in nnw....
Not in the Nells Bluff area, you need to go SW from there.

On the southern sides of the Cathedral complex - perhaps towards Feather Falls - looking across to the northern edge of the Traveller Range?

Getting closer, but not Fisher, but is a bluff and not Cathedral.

I reckon that is the Little Fisher Valley, which means you are on Turrana Bluff.

Then maybe Howell's Bluff looking towards Clumner?
