Have permits for NFLPC early September. Thinking of spending first night at UBSL, then hitting Russell, second night at Ice Berg, then up the col to Whitney. Bivy just off the summit, then hit Muir on way down the main trail. Any thoughts? Any beta on the snow patch just south west of the Whitney summit, as that would be our source of water for the Whitney bivy.

Thanks!
