Lake Man biv

This hut was merged with the hut, Lake Man Bivouac, 26 April 201226 April 2012.

To undo the merge, view the revision history and edit the previous version.

The track in from SH7 via the Doubtful is well signposted so there shouldn't be any problems. Times on the signs were accurate. From SH7 to Doubtful hut 2 hrs, Doubtful hut to Kedron river 1 hr, Kedron to the biv 2 hrs. We tried to access Lake Man from the saddle above the biv (as we were heading out via the tops). Probably best to go via the traditional route from the biv as the ridge was a bit hairy in places and was hard work to sidle round the difficult bits. Having said that it wouldn't be impossible for those fit and confident enough.
