Starting along the old mining road.

False summit seen center as we hike along the road.

A shortcut from the road switchback, a very fun Class 3 set of moves up a gully.

After the gully, we passed over the road and continued ascending on loose terrain.

More loose terrain on ramps to the left of a headwall.

Class 3 section to ascend above the headwall and reach the minor southern ridge.

Along the southern ridge, view toward the technical section. Shawn descended somewhere on the bench to the left using a chimney. He claims it was low Class 5, but it was definitely easier than the standard route. Might be worth checking out!

Avoidable move along the ridge by keeping to the right.

Bypassing the first move.

At the first required crux, low Class 5.

Chris on the first crux.

Matt on the crux.

Shawn at the top of the first crux, a view south.

Looking up at the remainder of the route. Class 3 leads up to where Matt is currently pulling a Class 4 move.

Matt (left) pulling a Class 4 move, Shawn in the center about to solo the Class 5 portion. Karson seen above on the summit ridge.

View back at the Class 4 move, crazy exposure below.

A corner that became an arete I'd use.

View down at Bryce pulling the corner move.

Bryce just below the summit pull move.

Heading over to the true summit.

Close-up at the scramble to the summit.

Class 3/4 to reach the summit.

Matt on the ascent to the summit.

Temple Mountain summit view.

Back at the rappel station.

Matt seen rappelling.
