Climbing Conditions

My guest and I had a warm and windless day on the East Ridge of Mt Temple yesterday. There are still snow patches on the traverse to the Black Towers and we were able to find numerous water sources in this area. The summit ridge is icy but, due to the warm weather, the ice was very soft which made for relatively easy travel with the appropriate gear. Despite the temps, we did not observe any rockfall. Of note, the parking lot seems to be full every day by 4AM.

Cheers,
