Has anyone been to the Carrel hut on the Lion ridge recently?  I'd like to confirm the water situation.  As I understand it, there isn't a source at the hut, but there is somewhere below the hut.  How far below the hut is it?

Also, were there stoves and gas there? 

Any other useful info on the current state of the hut would be welcome.

Thanks

We got snow from the west side of the ridge. Be careful where you collect it, though!

I would carry all of your water up to the hut. Otherwise take some strong purification tablets (iodine?).

Thanks for the replies.  It looks like a few litres will need to be carried.

One more question.  What gear is useful on the Lion Ridge?  Obviously, we'll have some slings and quickdraws, but would a few nuts be useful?

Thanks

I would certainly have had a couple of medium Rocks with me - 7 and 8(?) But can't remember if I used them - there's masses of fixed gear. The main thing I remember is to have some krabs with gates that open wide - little lightweights wouldn't clip the big ring bolts.
