The east face of Mount Geikie area has two named features that lie to the north and south. The Chin at 1,116 metres (3,661 ft) lies to the south, and is the point where the West Coast Range dips to the glacial features known as the Hamilton moraine. The Bastion at 1,107 metres (3,632 ft) is part of a glaciated wall that extends north. [5]
The surrounding high ground to the north of Mount Geikie is often known as 'The Tyndalls' or confused with Mount Tyndall.

The 'Tyndalls' have a number of glacial lakes, and lies south east of the Henty Gold-Mine, and Hydro Tasmania dam on the Henty River – and south of Lake Mackintosh, Lake Murchison and Tullah.
