"Lots of rime ice over the summit block made this one a little more complicated. Planned on using the bivy but with weather settled on one day. Clouded in summit, but otherwise great views" — ken_hercules • Aug 26, 2024

"Didn't see much around all day. Completed approach in the dark and spent all day on the mountain in the cloud. Minimal visibility didn't help navigation at all. Time and distance include the walk in and out on Ohara lake road which is about 12km and 2.5 hours each." — antons • Aug 14, 2024

"Stunning mountain, with equally bad rock quality. After lots of careful climbing on this one, we decided to rope up for a few sections not because of the difficulty of the climbing but because of our lack of trust in the rock. Classic Canadian Rockies climb. Route finding was not easy, cairns marking places where people have been, not the best way to go most of the time. 6 Rappels on the way down. We made it back in time for the Ohara bus despite giving the rocks an extra hour for the frost to burn off. 4.5 hours from Bivy to summit, 3.5 down. " — ken_hercules • Aug 8, 2024

"Car to summit to camp. Approach trail was easier than expected, much appreciated chainsaw work most of the way with only recent blowdowns on the trail. Glacier climb was easier than expected although warming quickly made us nervous for conditions on decent. Did a much better job route finding on descent through the waterfall section, so if you use my gpx follow the descent line there. Beautiful summit with great views despite the forest fire smoke rolling in that day. River crossing was mid-thigh depth and was no real issue. " — ken_hercules • Jul 20, 2024

"Mt. Hector - May 4, 2024. Skied and climbed to the summit of Mt Hector yesterday. Great weather, -4c ish to begin, a good freeze, mostly clear skies with a bit of clouds, -7c at the summit with some wind. Snow held up very well, softened up lower down for the ski out. Ski quality was good for most of the route, a few spots of wind crust and temp crusts but was pleasantly surprised overall how good it was. Coverage overall was good to great, could ski right to the ditch. 250cm at 2600m. Had to remove skis in the waterfalls section for just a few meters because it was pretty narrow but coverage was great. It won't last long down low, however. Crevasses were a non issue, all avoided easily if you travel away from Little Hector which you should do anyway to avoid cornices (cornices were not very big on this day). Found dry snow above 2500m, melt freeze below. As for the summit block, it was quite a bit harder than we were expecting and took a long time to figure it out. Lots of recent beta made it seem like it was gonna be a bit more straightforward than we encountered, maybe we're just crappy climbers. Took us a long time and multiple attempts to get up it, with crampons and axes. I ..." — jakefinnan • May 4, 2024
