You are cruel Mark - one day we will legitimately climb it. Maybe someone should post pictures from Vinces Saddle for you!

Haha sorry Brian. I was just teasing Pazzar. He and SBS attempted Mt Charles from Marian recently, they didnt quite get there, this shot was from Mt Charles looking back at Marian. He payed me back by bringing up Vinces Saddle cause I had to walk to Glen Huon from Sandfly this morning in the wee hrs.

Feel free to put one up, or open it up to anyone. I think we've finished our fun.

Still having trouble responding on the Blackberry - although I did get one through the other day??

Anyway - you are much closer, but both peak and location are not correct.

Are you looking at Cathedral Mt from, Kia Ora
It is easier to go down a hill than up, but the view is much better at the top.

When did the name change from Halls Buttress?

Edit - Stu, Dave Noble refers to it as Halls Buttress http://www.david-noble.net/Tasmania/CentralPlateauJan02/CentralPlateau2002.html
and see also http://www.rankin.com.au/Print036.htm and I believe that was its name when I first visited [1980/1983]

Know the feeling Bap, I'm running a little short too after over a year (? - stats?) of the game.
I'm at my girls place tonight so don't have anything on hand.
Anyone else please feel free to post one.

Stats ??
- I don't know if WalkinTas is still monitoring this, but I make it over 700 to date - and you would have posted about 60.

I don't think it has, eggs. I think the buttress pictured is Halls Buttress and that Solomons Throne is the high point just to the north of there - that's my understanding at least...

I just checked my Hartz photos and it didn't quite line up, so I knew it had to be a little further south
