Temple Traverse

I’ve been wanting to do this one for a while now. You’ve always had to go high for the snow, now you just have to go a bit higher. Temple Traverse via Gunsight Pass. Apparently I did it backwards which makes sense to me now, in the future I might also wait for more snow. My achilles is sore now which means I probably went a little hard, and wasn’t quite prepared for the amount of walking. 8hrs car to car with about 2 hrs on skis, 1/2 hr of which was spent descending through beach ball sized chunks of wet slide debris. Adventure.

Frosty tips in the valley bottoms.

Temptation hiding at the terminus of South Temple.
