Devils Den Bivouac / Devilskin Biv

Devils Den / Devilskin bivouac (2 beds, no matress, no fire, stream water) is a small, basic bivouac on the bushline below Devilskin Pass. The biv is all the more basic (and all the more cold) since DOC removed the fireplace a couple of years ago.

The biv does, however, make a good emergency shelter, or rest point for those crossing Devilskin pass - and was a reassuring presence on the cold March day on which I crossed the pass in 3 feet of snow! A good cut track leads up to the biv from Nina hut, and whilst steep is well maintained (March 2007). The pass is now poled, and a cut, marked track leads down the south side to the Doubtful Valley (this latter track is not marked on some toopmaps).
