An excellent hut with a never-ending supply of firewood, courtesy of the river. Quite a beautiful valley and a variety of scenery. But, I think the DOC timing is reasonable. Plenty of scrambling around on that long ridgeline. Can also access from Boulder Forks Hut, by following a steep fenceline shown on the LINZ map.

The DOC time is 6 - 8 hrs on the sign post at the Leatham quarry if going in that way. I hadn't done the walk before but it took 5½ hrs on a hot day inclu two 15 minute spells. (14kg pack). Coming out in the opposite direction it took exactly 4¾ hrs inclusive of two short spells. It is quite up and down. Wouldn't call myself super fit but am used to climbing hills.
