Climbed Mt. Hector (3394m) last weekend. This was one of the first Alpine climbs in the Rockies where we have made the summit on our first try. Also one of the first we havent had to start in the middle of the night. 7 am start takes us from the Icefields Parkway up a riverbed and headwall to the upper valley. After a few hours and a granola bar breakfast we are on the glacier, which is low angled. Visibility is poor at times, but we just point in the direction of the summit.
