Looks a bit PBish.

Nice work Tortoise and NNW. PB is correct.

Since I'd used the crunchy clue with Tortoise in real life I think she's happy to let you have it NNW.
Over to you.

Thank you, Hills, and I trust you have a good walk, wherever you go; I'm happy to claim it as the clue means nothing to me but your second image was familiar.

It might have meant more if we'd got to the second clue, which would have been 'smooth'.

What's a smooth crunch got to do with a precipitous bluff?

Crunchy. I prefer smooth on my toast, with honey.

I think I'll give that although it's not entirely accurate. It's from Mullens itself.

I keep thinking it's gotta be Cradle somewhere, but I can't make anything fit.

Nearer to Campbell than that. It is a named peak.

Hanson's? Although that's probably still on the Rodway track.

John pointed out the Rodway Track could be considered as rather long.
I admit my mind went to the section closer to Rodway in answering.
The lad is on Hansons Peak - Little Horn meshing with the rest of Cradle behind.

That view looks familiar, are you on the last bit of the climb up?

We were pretty much on top having lunch. Just went down the side a bit to get a good angle on him.

A long way from there but you're in the correct half of the state.

I think now it might be wild dog tier? If so I'm awfully ashamed. I've seen that thing hundreds of times.

Neither. Both answers are in the frame but Projection is closer.
