Submitted Hector today. Good freeze overnight, light winds, mix of sun and clouds. We probed 220-300 on the glacier. Summit block was fairly involved but with crampons and a single ice axe it was doable. We ended up taking the right line (see picture) unroped as there wasn’t too many places for pro. 2 rappels down to the col. Skiing was variable but we managed to keep the skis on through the waterfall and all the way back to the car.
