From the footbridge that crosses Paradise Creek as you enter Paradise Valley I took a gradually rising traverse up into a small cirque below Little Temple's North Couloir. From the top of this couloir it is a short traverse to the Temple-Little Temple Col. This could be considered as an alternative access route to the Aemmer, as it eliminates exposure to the Temple N. Face seracs and also eliminates several flat km's of slogging. The downside is an hour of sidehilling to get to the small cirque. The Little Temple Couloir is ~35 degrees at the steepest parts. There is a large cornice on the right that you can't see from below.
