Notes
Built in 1981 to replace 'Three Johns Hut' which blew into the Dobson Valley in 1977 killing 4 young people inside. Over New Year, 2023-24, the hut was overhauled by the NZAC team of Sam Newton, Zak Hynd, Hayden Cox, Brad Knewstubb & Kip Chapman. They treated the hut with CRC rust convertor & then the entire hut was coated with Resene Alumastic, & on a second trip, the windows were replaced, & dampness in the north wall was investigated & the hut given a tidy up, with all the rubbish flown out. 20.00 per person per night ($15.00 for NZAC members). Pay at Aoraki/Mt Cook VC. Wide angle photo: Harry Ketmandu. Edit Hut
