I’m guessing it’s a side trip off The Overland Track because they’re not carrying much. (They’re wearing it all for some reason.) probably a worthy peak in those conditions.
Try Barn Bluff.

Thank you. I've been up there a few times but not in conditions like that.
Where was I on this occasion?

Yes, that’s it. I call it Hugel Plateau but it doesn’t seem to have an official name.

We did not have clear views back when traversing the Thwaites Plateau, but I imagine you could get a view of the 4 Peaks like this from the pad out to the old campsite that was supposed to be out there.

Lovely shot.
