Mount Temple summit ridge

From a flight over Mt Temple last night, the summit glaciated ridge is icy and would likely require steel crampons and a good ice axe to climb effectively. There are large cornices on the East side which force you to climb on the steeper N side ice slopes. This is for routes such as the East Ridge, and N faces routes like the Greenwood Jones. There is still snow on the black towers traverse of the East ridge. Photos attached.
