Mid King Biv

Mid King Biv (2 bunk, mattresses, stream water) is a small biv just below the bushline at the head of Baldy Creek and directly below Mid King peak. It sleeps 2 on two mattresses - the floor is on 2 levels, so fitting three could be uncomfortable!

The hut is in mature beech, sheltered by ridges to the north and south-west. A good sheltered fire-spot lies in the lea of a boulder outside. It would make a great spot to escape to from bad weather on the tops - or just to get away from the crowds.

An unmarked, but well travelled route leads up and down the ridge just to the north of the Biv, from Mid King peak to the conflunce of Baldy and South Mitre creeks 1km from Mitre Flats Hut. A DOC sign marks the top of Mid King but the route down to the bivvy is unmarked although well worn. The remainder of the route down to baldy stream in unmarked except for occasional pink tape and is relatively easy to follow.
