Built in 1965 by the NZFS. In 1999 it was closed after an avalanche hit the hut. DOC was going to remove it until they received a $49,000 bequest from the will of Western Australian, Barry Anthony Armour, specifically for Liebig Hut. The hut was relocated to a safer site 100m away & rebuilt by Doug Henderson & Co. The hut has a radio linked to Mt Cook, DOC base. Edit Hut
