I'm looking for some feedback on a trip described below, any advice/recommendations would be a big help, thanks!
My 2 buddies and I want to make our way to the summit memorial day weekend (Saturday-Tuesday) from the west.
Starting at Horseshoe Meadows to Crabtree Lake to Guitar Lake to Whitney Summit and then exit through Whitney Portal.
Has anyone done this route during this time period? Is this route manageable with all the snow?
Thanks,
Tommy
are you planning going thru miter basin? im sure there is a ton of snow back there so if your not on skis its probably going to be a pain hiking thru deep soft snow - post hole hell. Ive heard army pass can have a good cornice on it, and if there is any snow on old army pass forget about it! then there is crab tree pass. for all those passes you would need ax and crampons.
