Looking for fun folks to join for a day trip up Mount Temple via the Southwest Ridge. This is a non-technical scramble with significant elevation gain (~1,700 m). Please be appropriately fit and comfortable with exposure. The plan is an early start from Moraine Lake, summit via the Southwest Ridge, and spend an hour or two on top (11,627 ft / 3,544 m) to support my acclimatization for an upcoming trip.

Expect lingering snow—microspikes, crampons, or an axe may be helpful depending on conditions. This will be a steady, moderate pace with plenty of time at altitude. I can drive if you can get to Merritt.
