Description

This massive sunny wave of limestone is home to some of the hardest mixed and dry routes in North America. The crag has dry lines that can be climbed in the summer as well as two mixed lines. There is lots of potential for more hard routes here. There is lots of avy exposure on the approach, don't go here if there is the avy hazard is dangerous.

Getting There

Park at the pullout 2.5 km north of waterfowl lakes. Walk 150m west along the roadto the creek, the temple will be visible above you. Hike straight up the creek bed untill the left bank rises up into a large slope. Follow flagging tape and a faint trail to the top of the slope and follow the top of the bank to more flagging tape through the the woods. Cut 100m left at a small cliff band, then cut 50 back right. Follow flagging to the next cliff band and scramble through it. From here follow flagging back down to the gully. From here follow the creek up to the temple. There is a WI4 ice pitch that can be climbed to avoid cutting left through the the woods.
