Thanks so much Reubs - not West Portal
I'm in between the two guesses thus far, on a named feature

Aldebaran? It has to be one of the more westerly peaks/ridges to have so much of PB in view.

I'm not on an Abel
And not "off" the general traverse route
And the ridge in the foreground is next on the traverse

Getting further away now with Capricorn
It’s between Scorpio and West Portal
The ridge immediately in the foreground is my next objective on the traverse (and also has a name)

No, and it's one of the easier bits of track on this range.

There are two other places it reminds me of in the Eestern Arthurs. So maybe above Haven Lake past the turnoff to Mt Aldebarren.

More wrong lakes.

Now we have a problem. Reubs got in first, IDP was more precise.
I shall let you two work it out between yourselves. I'm off walking tomorrow anyway. Be nice (but not too nice).

Must be north then. I guess that’s the south peak just over the top there.

You’re on the right track but it’s not Prion Beach.
