Are you looking up at the end of The Great Pine Tier from near Lake Ball. That would have the ridge leading to Mt Jerusalem.

Not looking towards the GPT or Jerusalem although if I was where you said and I was facing the same compass heading as in the shot, I would be looking up towards them.

Maybe the other end of the Lake Ball track? At or near the intersection with the Junction Lake track, facing ENE-ish with the left ridge leading towards King Davids Peak (which is an Abel)?

Close enough. I left the track near the saddle at the western end of Ball, heading south, and this is looking north.

My only walk along there I was more fascinated with Lake Ball and those cushion plants near the west end, don't think I even looked north. Were you heading for that small tarn?

Good thing there aren't too many peaks with helipads and trigs that close together.

Split the difference! It was somewhere in between the two. I reckon I'll give it to eggs though as that is where we were heading, and it seems like our elevation is a bit closer to the high point of Proteus than PFM.
