Mount Hector

<p>Avy conditions started out Low this morning, but the heat of the day started waking up the mountains bringing the hazard up to Cons/High on solar aspects. At roughly 3:30pm we saw/heard our 1st avalanche from steep, rocky terrain with several more ensuing soon afterwards (+8 at the carpark). We observed numerous recent slides from the warming of the last couple days on all solar aspects. Up high, cond. were very wind-affected--bring ski crampons! Glacier HS 170-220cm. Beauty day up there!</p>
