It all begins with an idea. The next hut to be built as part of the 3 hut system will be located on Mt Macbeth, at the approximate mid point of the Spearhead Traverse. This upcoming hut was made possible by an extremely generous donation from Brian and Andrea Thomas Hill.
The hut at Mt Macbeth will be the smallest of the 3 huts, given its more remote location with shorter seasonal access. It will be situated in more technical terrain and will require much longer approaches in summer and winter than the Kees and Claire Hut. As such we anticipate it will house approximately 20-30 people.
Watch this space for more details and updates as the preparation for this amazing hut gets going.
The designer and engineers for the hut have been engaged and schematic design work is underway. Construction on site is expected to begin in summer 2024.
