Beautiful Weather. Took around 5 Hours. Very stiff legs after the long ascent down. Saw a number of people attempting Foggy Peak with 1 tourist who struggled to get down in a quick manner.

Hut is in reasonable nick but very smoked out. The track there from the pinnacles is well marked and easy to follow, though overgrown with gorse in places. I decided to head back down the river on the same day to avoid staying at the hut because of the smokiness but had I needed to stay overnight I'm sure it would have been fine.
