This biv was removed some years ago.  Today only leatherwood enthusiasts drop off Dundas ridge en route to Roaring Stag Lodge.

This biv was removed in 2005 and a new four bunk mini hut/large biv was built closer to the top of the ridge.

Like Eric and Adrian (pictured) the old Drac biv deteriorated with age and in 2000 it was removed and replaced with a stand-up biv.
