Climbed the East Ridge of Temple today. The route is almost completely dry
and in excellent shape. We crossed snow for about 20 steps while traversing
up towards the exit gully. The exit gully has a little snow left that is
resulting in some rock fall. The summit ridge has more crevasses and moats
to negotiate than usual. Do not expect to find water on the route. You
also need to get down to Sentinel pass early enough to meet up with hikers
in order to comply with the group of six requirement.
