The man was with a group of experienced hikers when he lost his footing and fell from from Mount Temple
Police, fire rescue and Parks Canada responded to a call shortly before noon Saturday about a man who had fallen from Mount Temple near Lake Louise, Alta.With the help of a Parks Canada helicopter, police say the man was located about 1,000 metres from the initial site of his fall.
Mount Temple, a well-known peak above Lake Louise village, is described on the Parks Canada website as a technical route up the main face and a moderate scramble on the southwest side of the mountain. It also notes that route conditions are best after the winter snow has melted completely off the peak, which usually happens by mid-July — although officials have said there’s a late snowpack this year.
