Let's see if we can make our way to the top of Mount Temple in late September and not have to tromp through too much snow in getting to the top.
We will leave our carpool location nice and early at 6:00 am and hope to start our trip from Moraine Lake at 8:00 am towards Sentinel Pass, enjyoing the larches en route.
As we will most likely encounter snow at this time of year, we need to be comfortable moving in snow covered terrain and have skills in using our ice axe in moderately steep terrain higher up on the mountain.
I will check out the conditions on the mountain shortly before the trip and advise everyone what we can expect. Should conditions suggest, we will chose an alternative climb that day.
This will be a long day with 1,700 vertical meters to be gained, so a good lvel of fitness is a pre-requisite.

Cancellation Policy
If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
