Trip notes
From the club member's GPS log of the trip (30 December 2002), lightly edited, with people's names removed. Conditions may have changed since.
The route out from the hut mainly follows stock tracks. The horse route probably goes along the track across the scree above the hut to start with (higher than we went), which would avoid the moraine boulders.
