GAME: Where am I?

[Last]

I think you're on one of the high points between Mensa Moor and Stacks. Heimdall Crag?

I think you're on one of the high points between Mensa Moor and Stacks.

Yes.

Heimdall Crag?

No.

[Last]

How about Asgard?

[Rexyviney36]

Anyone know who named Heimdall and Asgard? Or did any of the first ascents around Stacks?

[north-north-west]

How about Asgard?

Yes.

Anyone know who named Heimdall and Asgard? Or did any of the first ascents around Stacks?

Abels book should mention the first ascents. Here we go:
"John Wedge refers to his climbing of the "Stacks" in 1833, in reference to the columns at the end of the bluff. It was almost certainly first climbed by John Batman circa 1826."
There's an old track that goes up beside Bent Bluff - actually between Bent and Pavement - that dates back a fair while. Like, early last century, I think. Would most likely have been the first major post-colonial access to the southern plateau.

There's a way of digging out nomenclature info on ListMap but I can never remember how it works; always just stumbled on it by chance and promptly forgotten the method.

[Rexyviney36]

Thanks nnw - found a few things by searching about. Was looking for some stuff about the late Bob McMahon, and found Mike Douglas and Chris Viney with whom I have some connection.

[Last]

Thanks NNW. I'd be interested in the results of your research Rexyviney. Next

Mt Anne?

[Last]

Not Mt Anne.

[eggs]

Maybe closer then - Clear Hill?

[Tortoise]

Well, it looks like to me like the Frenchman and friends on the left, the Spires in the middle, and Mt Weld on the right! I'll concede on the Spires, but is either one of the others what we're looking at?

Clear Hill is correct

Frenchmans and spires are correct. I think the other may be Eldon Peak

[eggs]

Yes - I thought it was Eldon Peak

Next - and for fun - can you see a [big] manmade object?

[north-north-west]

Only human made object I can see is a track marker.

[Letstryagain]

K-col hut?

[eggs]

Yes - K-Col hut is in view - and given that required some skill - I was near the Watcher and letstryagain can go next.

[Letstryagain]

Thankyou eggs. Beautiful spot that.

I don't have many photos, but here's something a bit different.

[Graham51]

Looking across Southport Lagoon?

[Letstryagain]

Hi Graham
Yes that's correct.

[Graham51]

Thank you. I haven’t been there for about 35 years.
Where was I sitting for this one?

[north-north-west]

That is the summit cairn on Snowy South (well, I have a big picture of it on the wall, so ...). Looking West to the Anne Range.

[Graham51]

Of course you’re right.

[north-north-west]

Actually recognised the cairn before the background.

This should be easy:

[Tortoise]

The trig looks a bit like Maurice. The hills behind? Nope.

[north-north-west]

Long, loooooooong way from Maurice. Not an Abel.

[Graham51]

That looks coastal. Are you somewhere on the Three Capes track?
Mt Brown?

[north-north-west]

That looks coastal.

It is.

Are you somewhere on the Three Capes track?

No, although it was sort of supposed to be.

Mt Brown?

That's the one.

[Graham51]

Next.

Looking at Quamby Bluff, maybe from Projection?
