Climbed Temple Crag via Contact Crack on Saturday, 18 Jun. Crampons were quite useful in the morning up Contact Pass, unnecessary on the descent. What route are you climbing? We watched 2 dudes boot pack to Venusian w/o crampons that morning and met them near the summit (they were very bad ass!). BTW, the mosquitos are totally out and starving! So you have 2 weeks to melt more snow and make more mosquitos.
