After our two warmup climbs in June - on Cathedral and Lone Pine Peak - one of the options for the second half of the trip will be on Mount Temple. (The fossil team of Mark, Hock, and Michael Franklin first visited this peak - Moon Goddess Arete - 30 years ago.) The route we would do this time is the Venetian Blind Arete ... Grade III/IV, 12 pitches, 5.7. The skyline ridge in the accompanying photographs is where the route is located.
