Relative positions of High Dome and what I think is Pelion West put you east - maybe south east - of the latter, but High Dome looks further away of the two, which suggests more north east ... and then there''s that ridge below ... which looks like a cross between Loddon Range, King Willies and PB.
Comer back, eggs; all is forgiven!

You can do it, nnw! Look at relative positions of Perrins and High Dome. That might help more. The ridge below is often seen, but probably not as often studied more closely. The views, if there are any, usually take precedence.

Let me just say that the tail end of this mountain is fascinating - proabably under appreciated.
And I won't ask where you started to get to the top at sunrise in a camping forbidden zone :)

PS - fantastic photo

I agree. Delightful saddle in between it and the named, much less visited bump on the end.
If one is determined enough, one has options. This option was a very rare one for me.
PS Thanks. It was worth the effort involved!

I have met a person who descended off the top to the south and almost died.
He stepped on a flat portion which rotated away and ripped his jacket as he jumped off.
Your description sounds like it is not too bad?

Cradle, looking over Benson? If so, I really stuffed up on the 'east of PW' thing. Which wouldn't be new.

Correct. You were in the process of correcting yourself. You'd started heading towards the north. :)

It's not bad at all, if you don't drop off too soon. I was a bit hesitant the first time, not being quite sure if it's possible. I vaguely remembered some club folk had done it before. We checked out a couple of spots, that I wasn't at all interested in. So we kept dropping down until we found something that looked good. I reckon it was easier than the normal route down. :)

If you have a good look at it from Benson, you can see the line to take. It's actually surprisingly straightforward if you get it right.

Hmm. Unless I've missed something (quite possible), it looks like one of a few thousand possible random ridges. :(

You've been here, you've seen this. You'd have a similar shot if you had the same lens.

Long way from High Dome. The shot is of part of a famous peak, but not the highest part.

Thanks, Eggs. I wouldn't have had a hope without your input.
Delightful initials they are indeed! In good weather. I must get around to finishing a trip report.

About as close as Mt Tyndall - now split the difference with some smooth and vertical conglomerate.
