That's a grueling climb any stage in a good keen mans life. And like most grueling climbs, the rewards keep coming once your up there :thumbsup:
Yeah she's a great throne to do ya business on alrighty
They did a great job of doing up the toilet & biv a couple years back, The Biv was toasty warm & the new alloy window is awesome ( Pity they never put a little deck or veranda to store ya gear but appreciate the work the grew put in ) Re the new shitter is now set a little higher ( on a grouse new deck ) but you can see it from the Biv, Dunc took a vid of me enjoying the view hahahahaha
Here's a couple of extra pic's that brads never posted up including one for James, pity the sawtooth was clouded in.
PS - I was really impressed with the condition of the track so great to see some work being put into maintenance, Re - Smiths stream hut should be on everyone's bucket list, it's definitely an entertaining place to stay the night.

@NIMROD From memory I read a great story of yours form like 2007 ish on the great old FnH forum of you & a young lassy doing a culling mish up there, did you shot a Deer on that slip going along the ridge between the Daf saddle turn off & the Biv ?
now that is a real good looking waist belt.... neat looking spot too.
Lady Hunter did from memory
And no... I didn't flog this sign :yaeh am not durnk: When they put the new flash bang sign at the bottom of the spur,
they just tossed this one into the scrub. Lady Hunter convinced me I'd be doing a good clean up job by carrying it out :D

@Philipo with the Savage? What cal?
It says 7mm in the opening splurb.
Lovely writeup of a neat bit of the Ruahines. Hunted the Sawtooth often in the 80's. Yes, it was often barrel stretching shots. I'm sure my old photos show the tussock a fair bit taller back then....
Thats inspiring. Great pics. I will never forget the yellows and greens of the tops in the sunlight.
Us old farts are mostly past that stuff now. But it has inspired Brian and me to bivvy up in the tawhine tomorrow night rather than use a hut.
The Kylie dunny was the same but I'm not sure if there's been an improvement here. The lids held on by a rock :thumbsup:
