I climbed the SW ridge of Temple (Normal Route) today. Weather and conditions were great. Most of the snow from the recent storm has dried off from Temple and the surrounding peaks.

We didn't use crampons but a light ice axe was handy for travel on a couple of steep, hard old snow patches. Cold temps this am, 0C at the parking lot and a solid freeze.
