Holy Grail Temple, Mountain summit in Grand Canyon, Arizona, United States.

Holy Grail Temple rises 6,711 feet above sea level, featuring layers of Coconino Sandstone and Hermit Formation within the Shinumo Amphitheater of Grand Canyon.

The summit, initially named Bass Tomb in 1891 by Virginia Dox, received its current name from the U.S. Geological Survey to match surrounding Arthurian-themed landmarks.

Larry Treiber and Bruce Grubbs completed the first recorded climb to the summit in 1977, establishing a route rated at class 5.8 difficulty.

The mountain stands 4,500 feet above the Colorado River, requiring advanced climbing skills and proper equipment for a successful ascent to the sandstone spire.

William Wallace Bass, an early Grand Canyon guide, had his ashes scattered by airplane over this mountain peak following his death in 1933.
