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.

Absolutely no idea. My first thought was somewhere on Ben Lomond, but maybe Mt Field is more like it. Or anywhere else... :?
