There are still cornices overtop of the black towers on Mt. Temple. The
route is otherwise slowly coming into shape. If you have a high risk
tolerance, the route appears to be climbable, but generally not advisable.
The route has been climbed, as indicated by tracks on the upper snow ridge.

A couple of really hot days will be needed to drop the cornices.
