Correct. Not Fake Pedder. But that is clear hill peeking through the clouds!
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

I'll try Mt Fortescue (although I don’t remember views from there), or the lookout between the peak and the Monument Lookout. Can you have two guesses in one post?

It is from Mt Fortescue. Whilst it is often in mist, there is a rock bench just past the summit which gives this view.

Looks like nnw has gone awol. Here's one to get the game moving again. The area where we camped has a couple of informal names, and it can easily be described if you don't know them:

My first thought was the lake below Weld, but I don't think it quite fits.

Not Weld, but it is a common high camp when ascending an Abel.

Not that one either. The lake is named after a nearby feature.
