GAME: Where am I?

[Tortoise]

So how hard is Lots Wife?

That was quick, Eggs! Not hard, if you follow the pad far enough around, even when it ducks down a bit - which is easy to miss when you're looking up.

This is the wrong gully:

This is the right one:

Not a game photo

This is the right one:

Is that you?!

[Tortoise]

Is that you?!

Nope, but I took the next picture a couple of minutes later.
Sorry you didn't have time to visit Lots Wife the first time. Have you been back?

[icefest]

no

[Tortoise]

Sorry!

[eggs]

Been around Anne a few times - but never back there.

Next one - name the peak in view.

Day walkers on Hansons Peak

[ILUVSWTAS]

Of course it is. Was the first pic I could find with the plant formerly known as richea scorparia in it.

eh? what? Has there been an official name change?
What about the other Richea species?
Why do they do that?

Yes, only announced a day or two back. The entire Richea genus has been subsumed into Dracophyllum.

There's been discussion for some time. The official change happened a couple of weeks ago

This is the mega-fun I-can't-believe-I-climbed-that gully. Then you find the right one on the way down.

You rock monkey, you! You've been having me on all this time.

Btw is that Artillery Knob, Eggs? (And Lots Wife is well worth a visit. )

[eggs]

The peak is not Artillery Knob, but you are close. Click in on it to get a clue from what's on top.

[johnw]

Are you looking back at the summit of Hansons Peak from the southeast?
And that could be Mt Campbell behind? Which sort of lines up with one of my photos from closer in.

[eggs]

Indeed John. We were off track but heading towards Artillery Knob and looking back at "Hansons" Peak with its day walkers on it.

Thank you eggs, typo now corrected .

And on to the next one:

Near Paddys Lake looking south along the Penguin-Cradle Trail

[RicktheHuman]

Kinda reminds me of the Mt Sprent track?

[johnw]

Kinda reminds me of the Mt Sprent track?

This is a very long way from Mt Sprent.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Black bluff?

[eggs]

Near Mount Vandyke?

[johnw]

Near Mount Vandyke?

Much closer, but no.

Black bluff?

Close enough, I'll pay that Mark. I'm near Paddys Lake just below it looking south along the PCT.
Technically I guess it's on the Black Bluff massif in any case. Over to you.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Thanks John. Wouldve got there in the end I guess.
Still nothing new from me sorry.

[north-north-west]

Folded?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Folded?

Not yet no.

Oh wait range? Not there either.

[north-north-west]

On closer examination, I think I see Diamond Peak at the far right. So, maybe somewhere on the southern Spires ridge, although the vegetation doesn't look right, nor is there enough rock. and there are too many intervening ridges. So scrub that. It looks more like The Pleiades.

[ILUVSWTAS]

Plaides are one of an increasing number of peaks I've been within 1k of but not summitted.

I'm not on the spires either.

[eggs]

King William 3?

[ILUVSWTAS]

King William 3?

You've gone the wrong direction there eggs.

[Last]

denison range?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Not Denisons. You're all circling back around slowly to the first guess which was the closest.

[Tortoise]

Near the turnoff to Pokana?

[ILUVSWTAS]

Near the turnoff to Pokana?

That would be a bit mean if I didn't give it to NNW with the Pleiades. But to clarify it's not on that ridge

[Tortoise]

Somewhere on Shining?
