View from high on Sun Ribbon Arete.

Adam waits at the bottom of the climb for Sun-Ribbon Arete.

Summit of Temple at dusk. Whipping winds, bright stars, and the silhouette of the Palisades against the last burn of sunset made this particular top-out an unforgettable one.

Heave! for the Tyrolean. A flying octo-cluster is not a good sign for a clean snag of the granite spike. Photo 2 of 3.

Ready! Poised to huck for the granite spike that makes the Tyrolean work, Sun Ribbon Arete, Temple Crag. Photo 1 of 3.

Summit shot with Anouk. 20hrs C2C. Took 2.5hrs to P7 but the rest took longer than exp. Good day.

Looking up at the snow field below SRA. Decided to forego the ice and utilize the alternate start to the left

Tyrolean is optional but fun :-)

Johnny high on the last bit of ridgeline before the top!

Miss! Try as we might with wrist finesse, this scene could not be morphed into a firm take on the spike. Two tries later we had it. Key: less slack between bundles and a soft touch. Total time from side A of Tyro, snagging horn, crossing, and retiring rope: 50 minutes. Photo 3 of 3.

This is Temple Crag and the blue line is Sun Ribbon Arete. This route is an incredible climb in an incredible setting.

Looking up the dihedral and crack system at the beginning of p.1. After ascending the snow gully at the base, climb up and right on 3rd class loose rock and then traverse right to get the start of p.1. We climbed the crack (5.7) on the right face of the dihedral.
