Top Crawford Bivouac (Removed)

The Top Crawford Bivouac (2 bunks, no matresses, stream water 100m distant, no fire) is a typical alpine Biv, with one bed on the left wall, one on the far wall, and a cooking shelf on the right wall. A kero stove (but no kero) is supplied - it is unclear whether this works. The biv is well maintained, and appears rodent-proof - a welcome change!

The biv lies on grassy flats in the upper Crawford Valley. It is about 700m upstream from the end of the cut, marked valley track, and on the opposite side of the river - a river crossing is necessary, but should be possible except after severe rainfall.

A steep poled route leads from the hut to the Styx Valley, via the beutiful, tarn-studded Lathrop Saddle and Browning Range Biv. Hanging valleys to the south of the hut, leading up to glaciers on Mt. Learmont also look worthwhile exploring.
