I thought I might be wrong because I couldn't work out the angle, but it's almost freaky how shots of mountains can look so similar. Or maybe it's just my very bad memory :oops:

No, East Tower has lots of steel on it, this place has very little.

How about Three O'clock Hill
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

Not Drys Bluff, but it is 3/4 of the way up a different peak, in a popular area not too far away.

It looks quite similar to Mt Blackwood which we climbed a couple of weeks ago.

Not Mt Blackwood. I think this one is probably most often climbed during an extended walk.

By extended, do you mean overnight, or are you talking about multi-day?

When I first saw this I thought it was almost up Barn Bluff.
I went away to check my photos but I could not match the particular skyline.
Still - I may not have caught all the angles - and it really has a Barn Bluff feel to it.

The photo doesn't give many clues but Eggs you're correct, it probably has that feel because it is Barn Bluff :wink:. Taken on the first day of a trip on the Overland Track 2007/08. Because the sky was clear and there was plenty of daylight we decided to attempt it. I didn't get much higher than that point due to a dodgy knee and short legs :roll:. But the view was spectacular. Well done, your turn.
