Yep. Pretty sure it's taken near that boulder field shortly before Steanes Tarn.

That looks like the Weld ridge back left - and it's always awkward working out angles on that - but for now, I'm thinking perhaps one of the Wellington Range Abels, and I'll start with Trestle.

If Ann is the one south of the cliffs, yes.

It was nice to do a run for the first time down the Tarkine coast earlier this year.

The peak in view is a named peak.

Granite: east, especially north east. Quartzite & schist: south west. Conglomerate: west. Sandstone: scattered, lower layers. Dolerite: everywhere in between and often over.

Not sure why someone was thinking of a poet at the time of naming this?

Well;, it's not Byron, Manfred, Pindars or Shakespeare ... could be Ossian's Throne though it doesn't look steep enough.

It is indeed Ossians Throne - as viewed from the south
The focus on the foreground probably softens the perception of fall off the peak.

I was following the escarpment as close as was practical when I went over that, which does change the perception of it. As did the actual climb; slopes are always steeper when you're going up them.
