In 1917 Mt Cook chief guide Peter Graham decided to build a small hut (8" x 10") (2.1m x 3m) above the Te Waewae Glacier to make climbing Sefton & Footstool easier with materials carried to the site on men’s backs. The year after it was built it was damaged by snow but repaired & it has remained in much the same condition since. The biv has a mountain radio & is surrounded by a stone wall. A large bivvy rock is close by & it provides shelter for another 6 people. Painted by volunteers of the Mt Cook Residents Association in Feb., 2019. Edit Hut
