[MCR] East Ridge on Temple

Climbed the E ridge today and similiar to Barry's posting a week or so ago, minus the traffic.  Route is in great shape and maybe 95% dry.  Only crossed snow for maybe 2 steps low down on the brown slabs below the exit gully.  Easy travel on summit glacier and final crevasse was easy to jump over (3 feet).  Temps were generally cool (approx 15C) due to forest fire haze and scattered cloud.  Winds were calm until mid-day and light from the NW thereafter. 

 

Also, was on Yam on Friday and while desending  around the west end noticed a good size rockfall (after the fact).  Looks like Windy Slab/Pony Express area got nailed taking out a number of trees and part of the trail.  Maybe a large class 2.0 rockslide......?

 

Cheers,
