Huts

Hut Needs and Notes

If you are headed to one of the huts please consult the notes below to see what needs to be carried to the huts or fixed. All huts should have repair tools and materials so that anyone can make repairs. If you can help out, contact Greg Bragiel huts@mtnclubak.org OR call 350-5146. Also, if you have a favorite hut and would like to take the lead on organizing maintenance and repairs for that hut, Greg would greatly appreciate the help.

• All Huts - MCA members are requested to adopt a hut, help out with maintenance and keep the Huts Committee informed on what is happening there. Also, please encourage any non-members at MCA huts to become MCA members. THESE ARE YOUR HUTS!!! PLEASE VOLUNTEER TO HELP!!!! GREG BRAGIEL IS NOT ABLE TO COMPLETE ALL TASKS HIMSELF!!!!.
• Pichler's Perch – Please repair roof metal that is missing.  Supplies at hut. The plywood floor of the loft near the ladder needs to be reinforced, repaired with available materials so it can hold more weight.  Please look for a missing 5 gallon "Poop" bucket in the around the hut and the rocky area and glacier to the northwest.

Greg Bragiel, MCA Huts Chairman, Updated April 16, 2013

Please observe the pack in- pack out guidelines at the Eklutna Traverse Huts. This applies to all items including human waste. We are considering removal of the human waste barrels due to inattentive parties not affixing them properly. The animals have gotten into the barrels and scattered the contents at Rosie's.
