Note: One of our editors had already added Mt. Temple, which you can see here, however, this entry came with better GPS track, pictures, and, a brave soul smoking a cigar at the top (something momentous we hope as opposed to the ritual at every peak). So we allowed this post.

UpsideLooking for a climbing group to Mt Temple for Sep 18. You can contact me at georgnxg@yahoo.com. Pls note Mt Temple is not a hike so if you are new to the rockies you should get Kane's scrambles book and start with easy scrambles like Yamnuska or Burgueau before attempting Mt Temple.
