Yes that is close enough, I was at the top of the Bastion Bluff track. This photo shows the view from the high point at the left of the previous picture.

And I may have misled you - there's not as much zoom as there would have been from Wylds.

Which rules out Shakespeare. Diamond being south of Frenchmans should also rule out Reeds or Bonds, but I don't think it's far enough south to be from KWII or Slatters or Hobhouse, so I'm at a loss. Probably just not reading those angles right.

Correct

Incorrect, but it's neither of those. You're closing in on it here.

but I don't think it's far enough south to be from KWII or Slatters or Hobhouse
Incorrect, if I understand you. It's too far south to be from from KWII or Slatters or Hobhouse

Probably just not reading those angles right.
I had a go myself, as if coming at it cold. The angles are quite tricky. It helped when I added (what I think is) Clytie to the Frenchmans/Diamond Peak mix.

That's the spot, Last. I can highly recommend camping between Lk Gordon and Pokana for a lovely leisurely lounge on top. Much better than an 18 hour day without getting to the summit on our previous attempt!

I think this is Ben Lomond, Ragged Jack on the left, Barrow the long ridge with the tower right at the back; maybe heading towards Mensa Moor summit?
