Brass Monkey Biv Jan 2016

Toni is leading a trip to Brass Monkey Biv for the CTC. It's a cute little 2 person hut purched on a saddle on the Lewis Tops. The forecast looks great so we're looking forward to a relaxing happy hour with great views. The plan is to approach the biv from Lucretia Stream and return across Lewis Tops to Lewis Pass.
