Sidle talus slopes under Mt Temple northwards, then ascend onto the East Face of Phipps Peak, northward up through two bands of straightforward bluffs climbing about 100m. At about 1800m, ascend west up through more talus slopes. The third bluff band (crux) is met at about 1860m which leads up onto the South Ridge of Phipps (a.k.a. Temple traverse), just below the summit rocks.
