Return to Hector but this time it was Little Hector, although it is not really that little. I also tried Mount Andromache as well, however once I was there I realized I didn't know which peak is Andromache. My GPS didn't have summit mark, so I assumed where it had the highest contour line is the summit. There was even a cairn to convince me, but it wasn't the summit...

Drainage. I skied here in spring but in summer there is a good hiking trail.

At the crux. Should be moderate but I took wrong line and became difficult scrambling.

Andromache. The summit is the left bump… Now I know. I stopped at the right bump believing it was the summit.
