The peak in the left distance is a fantastic daywalk, and also the start of a classic multiday walk.

It looks a little like the hills in the White Monolith Range, but I am pretty sure that its not there, I cant think of any daywalks near there, and it doesnt really look scrubby enough for that area

What is the mountain in the background? Franklands would have been my next guess

I was wrong - the sweep of the ridges around Mt Sprent [the mountain in the background] goes the wrong way.
This is from north of Mt Sprent. I know stu and Mark scouted out this area some time ago.

Yup, thats enough guessing. Close enough Eggs. This is Mt Robert. We got there recently after a longer than expected walk of nearly 9 hrs.

The photo appears to be from the ridge further along the Hamilton Range looking back to Mt Robert.

But anyway - I am a bit tight for time for a while now - will be flying tomorrow.
Anyone else can post a photo next.

Well I know you went thru the Western Arthurs recently, and this surely is taken from there. With alot of zoom, Maybe Mt Orion from the Pegasus saddle??

Not far from Capella Crags. I ended up doing a series of day trips out of Lake Cygnus, I didn't have time to go much further due to exams
