New Mount Temple Route
Alik Berg has climbed a number of big and difficult lines in the Rockies. In early December, he climbed a new route up the obvious gully feature right of the famous Striving for the Moon on Mount Temple. Berg said after: “Climbed what I think is a new route to the right of Striving for the Moon on temple a few days ago. I found above average snow/travel conditions on the mountain especially on solar and windward aspects. Certainly not open season for traipsing through start zones, but with some care there is some good alpine climbing to be had in the Rockies right now. Hopefully more folks will take advantage and get after it before it snows again and goes back to the usual winter avalanche horror. Striving looks fat, and there is a nice track out larch valley for anyone keen for a long walk.”
