We hiked and scrambled up Temple on a September day.   We started in the dark from Moraine Lake and hiked into Sentinel Pass.     From the top of the pass the rest of the way was very steep.     We managed to get over the 3 rock faces on the way to the summit ridge.     The peak stands at 11 726 feet.    A hanging glacier covers the north side of the mountain so caution is needed, but the last kilometer is just a step ridge hike.    It is a long day to hike the mountain (more info).
