The man had spent the night in the hut after an attempt by the Life Flight team on Saturday could not be completed due to extremely high winds in the area.
The Wellington-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter, with a Wellington Free Ambulance Intensive care paramedic onboard managed to land on a small area of exposed ridge-line close to the hut.
The man was quickly assessed on scene
and then flown to Wellington Hospitals Emergency Department
