Castle Rocks Hut in winter
"Franz Josef Glacier Guides is committed to the environment we operate in. We are very proud to be able to assist DOC in the on-going conservation of the glacier environment and particularly this hut which forms part of the climbing history of our region.
As a result we hope to ensure that Castle Rocks Hut will be available for future generations to explore.
