Alpha Hut, a large hut on the famous Southern Crossing route. A welcome sight after the climb from Hells Saddle or dropping from the summit of Alpha.
Sleeps: at least 24 on bench bunks.
Heating: A potbelly - finding dry firewood is a real problem.
Tent space: Not really.
The saddle between Omega and Alpha is Hells Gate not Hells Saddle
A long way from Upper Hutt- better from Kime Hut.
