Ok, let's try this.
There is a massive clue in the photo for those who have been there.

It's a memorable situation. I have a similar photo somewhere!

Here's one:

Is it Northgate, where Sahara joins in? Mind you the stals look a bit small for that spot.

It is Northgate. Your guess is sufficiently precise that I can't give you a definitive answer (can't remember!) but it must just about there.

Many years ago I took the same picture, with Rob Palmer in it, on an epic trip when three of us (Rob, Chris Baldwin and self) carried all the gear to rig Bar Pot and Echo Rift (ladders and double lifelines) and all Rob's diving gear, on the day he dived Shallow Well in Far Waters. Of the three of us, only Rob knew Far Country at the time. Unfortunately the only route he knew was via Sahara, rather than the far easier normal route. I still remember the pain of dragging the heavy gear through that hideous crawl, with the elbows and knees missing from my westuit. When we got through Sahara on the way in, those stals seemed like paradise compared with what went before. So that view is embedded in my brain!

We were all knackered by the time we got back to the foot of the Bar Pot big pitch. I went up first, and I remember getting no response from Rob once at the top, as he'd fallen asleep.

I don't have that photo any more (a black & white print) and I think someone must have borrowed it years ago. If you have it and you're reading this, I would love to get it back some time.

Sorry, I digress. Please would someone else jump in with a photo?
