Stefan Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 I need some beta on how to do Mt. Temple from Nada creek. Is Beckey right in his description? Pictures? Any and all help is appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle_Flick Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Your post doesn't indicate whether you needed info on the approach, so I'll skip to the route itself. From Tamarack meadows where you'll probably be camping be aware that Temple looks smaller than the crag to the right of it (called Stack Crag). Even if you climb the wrong crag you can still access the Temple by traversing from the top of Stack Crag to the base of the climb on the Temple. The first pitch is an easy and short crack to the base of a face. The intial move to the left, protected by an old 1/4" bolt is the crux. The face moves are all there to the top. The next pitch is an easy slot to the summit. A double rope rappel off the top will take you to below the base. The snowfield on the approach and descent is intially steep but eases up after a couple of hundred feet. A worthy climb. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
