Temple Crag the evening before we climbed it (spring ascent - May 2018). The approach was fully covered in snow and crampons and ice axe were required for the approach and descent.

Temple Crag rappel anchor- Why you should always check the entire rappel sling. This sling was otherwise new, but the pinch at the back was sharp and severed the webbing.

Heading towards the summit after Moon Goddess...
