Mt.Temple SW Ridge 06/06


This was Ahnahs (my dog) first trip to climb a mountain. I think she was 10 months old or there abouts. It was also my friend Adam's first mountain and they both did well. It took us 11 hours car to car. That could have been a lot shorter if we had not takin the dog but what fun would that have been?
The SW ridge or Face route takes the lefthand skyline. This was takin in Larch Vally.
And we're off...

Ahnah aka "The Snooky Doo"
Eating something????
The switchbacks start here.
At a girl.



Any amount of snow.. Playtime
Adam climbing the section I had to find a bypass for the dog to get up.
Found one! it's the weakness in the rockband to my right.


Adam just before he fell armpits deep in a snowshrund. The snow bridge to the rock was thin so he went in.
Getin higher...

The Snooky Doo and I on a ledge.
