It was located in a clearing on the trackless Oriwa Ridge, and this biv did not get much use. It is now gone.
Sleeps: Three at a squeeze.
Heating: No
Camping: There is a very nice campsite under trees about 20m from the biv to the east, you could get 3 tents in there probably. You can presumably camp on the spot where the biv once stood. Apparently a water tank has been left on site....
This biv has now been removed (see hut and track update)
