I thiiiiiink I have an almost identical shot, albeit slightly earlier in the evening and with added smoke, taken shortly before being whisked away from Eldon Peak.

The end to the second visit to Eldon wasn't exactly a drama, it was just *&%$#! annoying. There was absolutely no need for it, although the ride was kind of fun.
Yes, fire-bombing was Edith. Still haven't been back. They may have given me some sort of complex ...

Where was I battling a gale that BoM hadn't warned me about last Friday?

Yeah, it was extremely frustrating, especially getting soaked trying to cross Falls Rivulet.
Not from falling in, just from the massive blast of spray one gust picked up. Finally gave up on Snowy Sth, got changed into camp thermals, and walked back out.

Just a bit of silliness. We've come a long way from the first post in this thread in terms of more obscure, also wonderful places. :D

I don't remember. Eggs probably does though.

You'd better post the next one before he chimes in!

Just to revisit the jovial - the highest point to be seen is not Cradle Mt.
Its actually Smithies Peak.
Normal programming resumes.

But wait - there's more..
