Jack Clarke, Tom Fyfe, George Graham (when they climbed Aoraki/Mt Cook).
Topo ref

Tom Fyfe seems to have a lot of dodgy gullies named after him, many of which he never used himself. Fyfe’s Gut is the narrow couloir directly below Green Saddle.
From the upper Sheila Glacier, climb up the
rib to the climber’s left of Fyfe’s Gut. It is also possible to climb Fyfe’s Gut but this is extremely prone to rockfall. See also Route 4.33.
