What are the conditions like? I'm hiking up Sat/Sunday with a group this weekend with poles but no microspikes/crampons. Is the main trail in good shape? It'll be my first time on Whitney.
With microspikes I summited Oct 15 and was surprised how many people prefer to slip & slide rather than use them. In case you have never been up there, much of the trail is along ledges so microspikes are highly recommended by me.
Have fun bro
