Hey guys,

Just by looking at pictures, it seems that linking little hector and hector (alberta) via the col is possible. I am aware of the stupidly long day, but I am wondering if anyone has any info on a traverse linking the two peaks.

Cheers

Yes it is possible. We did it in a long day, summiting Hector and L Hector, 12-13 h with a team of 4. There are not significant difficulties, except the glacier travel and a quite steep descent from Little hector. Also we got out to 93, by a different valley, one just south of the classic route.
Good luck.
