Notes
The setup with the biv at the back of a huge shelter is quite interesting. It makes it much more comfortable compared to a standard bivouac. If the front of the shelter were enclosed and a fireplace installed, it could really improve the place. Edit Hut

An upgraded bivouac with plenty of space in the front shelter (and even a dartboard). From the bivouac, I crossed the Ngaruroro River (thigh-deep) and went up the curvy spur to point 1247, then made my way to Te Puke Hut (4 hours at a good pace). There's a steep rocky section (15 meters high) around 1100 meters and two rocky knobs on the main ridge to be sidled on the northeast side.

Having trouble remembering what hut's you've visited?
