Yes, Grunter. I was walking back from Lake Judd and that’s part of Schnells Ridge ahead.

No bites after 24 hours...
This place is named after a former Governor of Tasmania.

It was the only name I could find that had something that I could remember looking a bit like your shot. Not a bad peak, actually. And a neat clue.

The name of the big lump of rock will suffice, given that there don't seem to be any official names attached to the ground traversed en route that day.

It's not named after a governor, but another historical (Tasmanian) person.

There are more words in the name than most, but none of the words is Mount, or Mountain, or Peak, or Range, or Hill ...

Well done! I reckon I'll be doing very well just to get to the Spires. I'll look at it admiringly, though. :)

Close to where I pitched the tent just below (and to the north of) Gell's summit, after it suddenly started snowing?

Sorry, no. More zoom, and you have to account for the mountain in the foreground oops, mid ground.
Edit: It's quite distinctive. :)
