Synopsis
We have already had Round -1, where Meghan and Roland (mostly Meghan) hauled in various supplies and materials for the renovation.
Round Zero will happen the week of June 1st, when four people will go up, haul in various supplies, do work, hang out, etc. We will post a report here describing what we did and what remains and what needs to be hauled in.
Since Roland is coming we'll have at least one 4x4 and can shuttle to the end of the road. This means the hike in is 3-4km and 500m of elevation gain, almost all of it on a nice trail. If you're in reasonable shape this isn't too strenuous (although, we'll have some things which need to get carried up so you could always make it more strenuous by putting lots of heavy stuff in your pack...).
There isn't really anything up at the hut other than shelter - so you'll need to bring food, sleeping bag, stove, etc. (or share with someone who is). See here for a complete list.
The hut is too far away (~450km round trip) to go for just a day, so we'll be up there the whole weekend leaving Vancouver early Saturday and returning late Sunday.
Date For Round 1
June 13-14.
Optional pre-trip meeting Wednesday June 10th, at the intersection of Tolmie and the ocean (ie. Spanish Banks, frisbee) at 7pm. To do list is here: 2009_Brian_Waddington_hut_renovations

Sturdy Trooper, I'd really like to drive up Friday so we can start early Sat and avoid some heat, but his only works if everybody else drives up early as well, if I am the only 4wd ferrying everybody.
