Mt Temple Summit Scramble (Sunrise)

Headed out yesterday to Moraine Lake to watch the sunrise from Mt Temple for the second time. Set out in the evening and scrambled the route in the dark & had a quick snooze when I made the summit ridge. A clear night and zero wind made the trip quite enjoyable besides the cold temps at almost 12,000ft. Beautiful sunrise was amazing to watch & I soaked in the experience for over an hour on the summit. To complete this goal required knowledge of the route & obviously a comfort level with scrambling in the dark. Not recommended to anyone who does not have the experience necessary to complete such a climb. First song is The Boss by Pete Rock. Second song is Crossing the Void by Nils Hahn.

Beautiful video of the climb, that sunrise was something else. Having climbed Eiffel, I can only imagine how spectacular the views are next door on Temple with that extra 500m elevation!

Such an amazing & memorable trip

[@mountfairweather]

I tried on my first time at night. I got lost and got very cold, but I had fun. Thank you for your inspiration

[@luanly7759]

Last Saturday me n my friend attempted to climb Mt Temple but due to our lack of experience we returned half way up the Sentential Pass. We shall be back to concur the summit!

btw I want an experienced scrambler (like yourself) to company us on our next climb

[@RockyMountainMan372]

@@arslanian don’t think I will be doing Temple again this year but if you don’t have Alan Kane’s Scrambles in the Canadian Rockies it’s a great guide plus a lot of trip reports for peaks online with more photos. I recommend starting with easy to moderate scrambles and work your way up to more difficult ones. That way you get more comfortable with scrambling, exposure & familiarity with the rock as every mountain is different

omg!!!! went up to the peak at night is so dangerous...

[@RockyMountainMan372]

Yes it is dangerous even if you know the route. This is my fifth time and second time for sunrise. Was a goal of mine and happy it was successful
