PW or KD? I've camped on King Davids once, beautiful (cold) night.

Ossa?


KD. Wondered if I'd have a tent in the morning. Should have taken earplugs, it was deafening

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is first to identify the thing hiding in the cloud. That should tell you where I am:

This looks one hell of a lot like sidling under the cliffs on PW, but not battling the wind and fog and rain while you're doing it.

Would have liked conditions like that when I did it. Things had been pretty good right through the previous day, and then it went badly downhill overnight. Think it came good more or less as I reached Old Pelion ... :roll:

Wasn't entirely sure until lining things up on ListMap. But that angle on Nereus, Perrins and Thetis gives it away.

You want to have a look at the answer above. They're on the right track. Although, to be strictly accurate about it, probably only one of those lumps has a name.

Indeed, and from where would you get an angle like that on Weindorfers?

When I did that track it was under 1m of dry snow, and I was stuck in a whiteout... I was mostly hoping I would miss all the cliffs.

Ahhh, you be young and foolish again.

On the topic of foolish endeavors, I would like to go back and sleep on this little perched bowl above the cliff when tassie opens up again.
