I suspect it might be somewhere on the Prince of Wales Range - near Mt Humboldt?

Sorry mate. Never heard of that one.
This peak isn’t an Abel but is pretty high…more or less.

Sprent?
Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful.

This mountain is also frequently mispronounced and misspelled…if only by one letter.

Still not Humboldt...

It's a popular sunset spot in the Western Arthurs.
