I'm just amazed that none of the others recognised it. That area is so distinctive.

I think you might be looking at Clumner Bluff.

Clumner is in a different direction from this spot, but you are in the right area.

I am. Or was. The fires really opened up the views on that part of the peak.

I never saw it pre-2016 fires, so I got an easy(er) trip up compared to others.
Anyone else can go.

I think I know this mountain. In fact I remember climbing it once.
It looks a bit like a cradle, and I recall something about white birds and that lake.

I think we're still looking at Dove Lake, but where from exactly? I should know. Is it the saddle before you drop down to Lake Hanson / go up to Campbell?

That's because it is Mt Snowy. Looking back at our descent route from the top.
For some reason I thought it was an Abel but discovered it isn't.
