My first thought was a drop maybe mid way along the Tarn Shelf track. But I could not see anything in my shots and I could not remember the red snow poles along there or a track sign.

Getting closer, eggs. Maybe think about ends rather than middles?

The track type matches the track coming down from Newdegate pass. Just don't remember the layout below.

It's such a sastisfying feeling to know I can occasionally flummox you. Yes, descending from Newdegate Pass.

Looks like my recollection of Tarn Shelf, which the clue supports.
I can't remember the distant view but probably Tyenna and/or Florentine Peaks?

Its meant to be easy and tricky at the same time.
Your recollection is correct.
But the main peak at back is not Tyenna or Florentine...
And where am I?

Sorry eggs, I meant the track, you don't look that far up. Mt Mawson makes sense now, I don't know why I didn't look SE.

From memory my view from this location is looking at two named features, but neither would be Abels (I think).

I think I saw some burrowing spiders lodging at the start of the track.

I have no idea, so I'll throw out a vague guess assuming that your last post was a cryptic clue...

Somewhere in the Walls of Jerusalem?

...Yes it was. Not in the Walls but you're in the right part of the state.
Probably about 30 km from here to Mt Jerusalem.

I don't understand the clue either but it reminds me of the Meander Falls area

The last clue covers Rats Castle and all along the Great Western Tiers from Projection Bluff to Western Bluff.

And the track to Meander Falls starts at Huntsman's Hideaway, so I reckon you're right.

I think you are right
- it might be the northern end of Bastion Bluff on the LHS probably from the Dell Track.
But the 2 named features has thrown me.

Firstly, Tortoise gets a point for correctly guessing Huntsman's Hideaway. I took this photo back around 2005 or 2006 so a bit hazy on the details and haven't revisited the spot since. I'm on or just off the Split Rock/Cleft Rock track, possibly near the small loop to the two waterfalls but could be further up. I will give it to eggs as the Dell track is pretty close and want to keep the game moving. I believe we are looking at Bastion Bluff. I thought the lump on the left may be Meander Crag but may be wrong so happy to be corrected. Over to eggs.

All a bit inexact - so anyone can go next.
I did not look back when going down the Split Rock track, but my shot of the wall at the saddle of Meander Crag and Bastion Bluff does not match the forested slopes on your RHS.
Bastion Bluff there was very cliffy.

Even though I had no input I’ll jump in. What mountain did we climb last week before the weather changed?

Ar first glance the foreground rocks look like Weld but background looks more like the Reserve. In fact that looks like the Acropolis with Geryon and the DuCane highpoint beyond, so I'm thinking you're most likely on Gould?

Good enough. I think this may have been just above it, on the way to Brewery Knob, but can't be entirely sure because the weather did what weather is wont to do and clagged in a bit up around then.
Take it away, teak.
