Great Cairn Hut


An incredible mountain cabin in a completely remote location with just a few visitors every year. We skied over from Moberly Pass in the afternoon after traversing Pyrite Ridge in the morning and descended down the glacier in the twilight for another monster day but with perfect weather and incredible scenery. Dan and I took the following day as a rest day as the plan to ski Sir Sandford fell apart due to extensive exposed ice on the route. Andrew and Stewart skied the Guardsman Glacier on the left of Sir Sandford. As we were admiring the view at around 3pm a slab pulled out from below the hourglass on our proposed route down Sir Sandford and filled the valley below with debris. Nice.
