| We climbed the north glacier of Mt Hector today. On north aspects the snow from the most recent snow lingers down to 2650 m. Just a few cm at that elevation, ankle deep near the summit. No wind slabs where we were.
On sunny aspects most of the snow has melted off right to mountain top.
The route is in good shape with most of the gazillion crevasses that you need to bob and weave around fairly obvious. Most.
