My group is summiting Whitney on Monday and we are prepared for the water crossings as follows:
1. We are taking the old trail past the first water crossing-we are hoping to get get direction at the Store on how to access the old trail and when to move to the new trail.
2. We have "water" shoes for the log crossing section - Any update on whether the logs are in place or will be in place by Monday? I would like to avoid carrying extra unnecessary gear.
Otherwise, the weather is going to be nice and we are all looking forward to a much better experience than many hikers encountered last weekend. I always overpack (by adding extra dry clothes, space blankets, hand warmers, etc, however, I do not feel like I am over doing it now. In fact, I feel that I am prepared for worst case conditions.
Thank you.
