I am looking at planning a mid October Whitney Summit 10/15, 10/16, 10/17. I was hoping I could get some feedback on what to expect and what to be prepared for.
It's been my experience that anytime after mid-September is a crap shoot for hikers not comfortable in icy, snowy conditions. At the moment, there's snow above 12K' - whether there's more or less in a month is anyone's guess, but it would be prudent to plan on at least some being present.
