it's one of the tourism tas sculptures I think, looks like it's the one near the sentinels.

They're still working on it, but at least it's starting to look like a track again.

Yes.
And it's a good job the thing leaves me speechless, because if I said what I really think ...

That will be Lake Webster below with Davis Lookout the high point at back.
I mistakenly thought the LHS block was part of Mt Bridges - but it will be the next block north below the Lake Newdegate Track
Which places you about midway along the Tarn Shelf, close to James Tarn.

I would have accepted Tarn Shelf eggs, so your answer was fine. I also mistakenly thought Mt Bridges, and In hindsight I'm correcting again after reviewing my photos, timestamps and Listmap.
I believe I may be next to Backhouse Tarn, based on this I took a couple of minutes later. Also lines up with a wider shot I took towards Davis Lookout.

Thanks Last. Having only been on Ossa in that area it took a bit of detective work.

I don't think it is, Last - I suspect Eggs was right with Hyperion, though I got no views from there in that direction. But see my (poor quality) shot from Eros below, where Paddys Nut (I think) is sitting right in front of Cradle.

In your photo, I thought we were looking at Thetis, with Achilles to the left, Paddys Nut to the right and the western flank of Ossa. And the tippy top of PW behind. I think your photo must have been taken from somewhere on a line east of Eros. With cliffs. Like Hyperion?

Not sure Tortoise. I didn't climb Hyperion on the trip the photo is from. I thought the cliffs in the foreground were the back of Hyperion. Apologies to all if i'm wrong

Had another look at the sequence. I think i'm on the moraine between Hyperion and Eros. Again, apologies.

This is from the top of Hyperion, as you can see a bit higher up, different foreground

So that's the view from Hyperion! Thanks, Last. I might get back there one day to see it. :)

John, not much to go on, but I'll start with a stab in the dark. Suttons Tarn?

True, I have submitted Frankland Range pics in the past, but we are bit further South here.
