Little Hector is a moderate scramble north of Lake Louise which should offer excellent views.

This trip is for experienced scramblers only. It is not a trip for beginners but best suited to those who have completed other moderate scrambles i.e more difficult than Heart/Yamnuska. Our pace will not necessarily be fast but definitively will not be slow either. A climbing helmet is required for this event.

Climbing Helmet (no bicycle helmets)
Sturdy Hiking Boots
Minimum 2L of Water
