Worked our way up Temple Lake Ridge today. Found decently supportive travel except in shallow rocky terrain where wallowing facets abounded. We avoided most slopes of consequence but achieved whumphing and shooting cracks in unsupported pockets. We bootpacked the ridge to the summit to avoid exposure to larger S-facing slopes. The day was primarily cloudy with modest winds, light flurries, and hovered between -10 and -5.
