Skied the looker's left slide path from 2400m on the south shoulder of hector south peak from 2400m (page 27 in my guidebook). We used the tree rib to the left for access. On the tree rib I found multiple layers of sun crust and facets sandwiched on top of each other. The path had previously slid and we skied the more supportive slope leading into the main runout. Runout was creamy snow all the way down to the bottom of the runout. The visible debris chunks in the guts were also creamed out and did not effect turns at all. Was -1C at noon with almost no wind.
