Description
If you have ever skied or hiked in Lake Louise, or just driven from Banff to Canmore, Mt Temple is impossible to ignore. "Only" the 11th highest peak of the Canadian Rockies, its north face is a complex 1,500m high wall of rock and ice, and one of the most prized alpine objectives in this part of the world, though rarely climbed due to significant serac danger on most of the routes.
This image also shows several of the Ten Peaks above Moraine Lake, as well as Pinnacle Mountain and Eiffel Peak, and even the stunning Cardiac Arête on the Grand Sentinel.
Note: this is an aerial photo that replaces an older summer image taken from Mt Fairview.
