Hector

Good travel up hector this morning with solid overnight freeze. Ski crampons helpful but not essential. Boot crampons handy for the summit block and for booting the debris below the headwall in the morning. Good coverage on glacier with some exposed ice on the steeper roll. A couple solar releases from steep terrain on little hector mid morning. Solid crust remained intact in the ALP descending from 2 to 3pm. A bit softer on the slopes below the headwall at 3pm, but very supportive. Picture of the slab release above the headwall. Likely the one reported earlier this week.
