Within the washes as we continue toward Klothos Temple, visible left.

Short section of narrows within the wash approach.

Nearing the base of Klothos Temple.

A narrow section of our ascent canyon.

After the narrow section of canyon, we ascended this Class 2 slope on the south side of Klothos Temple. There are a few options for ascending, but there is one easier option that has cairns and keeps a bit to the left although it's tempting to go directly up the slope, marked on the attached map.

View back into the drainage we came out of as we continue up the Class 2 slope.

Nearing the top of the slope.

View back down the slope.

Once emerging from the slope, a view of Klothos Temple.

View back as we follow a social trail along the ridgeline.

Along the ridge to Klothos Temple.

View back along the ridge. The social trail was overall easy to follow.


View back toward Muggins Peak (left) and the ridgeline we came up on (right).

Approaching a short scramble section.

Class 2+ along the ridge, short-lived.

Past the Class 2+ section, the route sticks to the left around the loose and scary-looking cliffy ridgeline. This resulted in wrapping around the cliffs on Class 2 terrain.

Close-up at the approach to Klothos Temple. The social trail heads diagonally from bottom right to top left.

View back. We avoided the cliffy ridgeline on the social trail by staying in front of the cliffs you see in the center.
