It's the first picture we have this year at the cables on the switchbacks.

Her caption:
"I laugh that this photo was taken just before almost falling off the side of the trail and ending up waist deep in melting snow holding onto those ropes for safety. I'm happy to say that the trail conditions determined whether I made it to the top or not, not my lack of preparedness or conditioning. This weekend was an overall amazing experience. Mt. Whitney I'll be back for you."
