Rift on Holy Mount Lanayru is a Main Quest in Echoes of Wisdom.
Overview
After Zelda and Tri mend the Stilled Hyrule Castle Town rift, word comes to Hyrule Castle of new rifts opened in Faron Wetlands, and on Eldin Volcano & Holy Mount Lanayru. This begins the Lands of the Goddesses quest, as the king of Hyrule sends Zelda to investigate all three.
When Zelda and Tri arrive on Hebra Mountain, a freezing blizzard covers the entire area. This lasts until they reach Condé's house, where the yeti - who, unusually, can see Tri without apparently having been in a rift - invites them in to wait out the storm. While waiting, Condé tells them about his big brother, who apparently is on an adventure in a hot-air balloon, and was going to Holy Mount Lanayru from the peak of Hebra Mountain. Condé, along with his now-deceased father, was waiting for his return.
When the storm passes, Condé leaves to "clean" the mountain, first shovelling snow that blocked the entrance to a cave. When Zelda and Tri go through the cave, they find Condé trying to clear the "dark gunk" of a rift. Unable to convince him to stop, they find an entrance to the Stilled Hebra Mountain Cave rift, and rescue five groups of Tri's Friends to mend it. With it gone, Condé assumes he fixed it, and jumps off. Zelda and Tri make their way further up the mountain, and after exiting the cave, they find Condé looking at the back of a yeti-like figure he thinks is his big brother. When the figure ignores him and jumps off, he goes chasing after it.
At the top of Hebra Mountain, they find Condé lying on the ground, having been knocked down by what he believes to be his big brother. Convinced that it happened because he wasn't good enough, Condé sits at the mountain's edge, depressed; while Zelda and Tri find an entrance to the big rift and enter Stilled Hebra Mountain, from where they reach Stilled Holy Mount Lanayru. In a cave on the latter, they find a cave painting by Condé's big brother, mentioning his "dear little brother" and that he "can't wait to bring Condé with [him] someday".
They ultimately reach Lanayru Temple, and work their way through it until they reach the figure who Condé thought was his brother, but was revealed to be the unrelated boss, Skorchill. After defeating the boss and mending the rift, they receive Nayru's Sanction from the voice of the goddess herself, who tells Zelda she has demonstrated true wisdom. After this, they return to Hebra Mountain, and pick Condé's spirits up by telling him Skorchill was just a monster, not his brother, and Condé's actual brother is still adventuring.
