East Temple and West Temple Mountains are the most prominent summits in Zion National Park. They tower over both entrances to the Valley, seemingly a stone’s throw from the highway, and are seen by three million people every year. And almost never climbed. Seriously – East probably had probably seen less than 10 ascents ever by last fall, and West maybe 4 parties per year. It’s bizarre – FAR more people climb Mt Everest than these two bad boys.
Needless to say, this situation had to be rectified …
