Jim Haberl Hut - By 192 Airfield Engineering Flight

[daftandbarmy]

The Jim Haberl Hut is a climbers's hut at 6800 feet in the spectaluar Tantalus Range above Squamish BC. The new hut replaces the F.J. Green Shelter, affectionately and more commonly known as the Red Tit Hut. This modest fiberglass dome has served climbers well for many years despite repeated damage by storms. The new hut is comfortable and inviting and a fitting and lasting memorial to Jim Haberl. The result of nearly 5 years of sustained effort by a dedicated group of volunteers, it is undoubtedly one of the nicest mountain huts in Canada.

Partnerships.  The hut was built in partnership with the Alpine Club of Canada – Vancouver Section (ACC), and with the assistance of the 192 Airfield Engineering Flight, and many other supporters and volunteers.

And to think that some of the civil population is of the opinion, that the military does nothing for the betterment of society.... Silly people.....

Chimo

Jeff it took a year or so to prefab the hut.
All was made in the compound,assembled and then dismantled and then shipped out to Squamish to be air lifted up  the mountain.

I know Jim's brother. He and his family were bowled over by the help they got from the CF. Well done all!

All's I know of it was the chaos in the compound and fretting over the transportion of the hut.
Yet the Unit has no final photo?
