What is the ridge like from there to the summit?

it was very rocky where I hit the ridgeline but I quickly ended up on coral fern flats which I followed till I ascended the summit. Looking at the map again I was not as close to south hobhouse as i thought.

Nope. No Loyetea either. :) Right part of the state, though.

Closer again, but no.
Edit: There's a good view of Roland from parts of this Range.

Might help to identify the Abel in view. I won't be annoyed if I get a barrage of questions.

Yes to Black Bluff. Getting colder, though. Roland was much closer. There was a clue in my last post...

Thanks Tortoise. A bit of a Bradbury but have to keep my mind from going around the bend in lockdown.
Love to do some of those Bill Shepherd walks (RIP) if the day ever comes. Try this one:

Thanks, lovely open walking. You were responsible for sending me up there so I tried to get a few decent photos.
Wouldn't mind aiming for Harper Point if I get there again. All yours.

It's worth the effort, although it's not quite so open towards the end.

You sound somewhat uncertain. Relax, this is not one of those rare occasions when you get it wrong.

I really have to go back when the weather is better, although it always seems to go off for me at Haven. :(

I was pretty certain - was the text wobbling?
I think it is more polite to put a question mark.
It is a place becoming more distant as an objective with time - but it is on the list.
