You can use Lone Pine, or for exact Trail Camp coordinates, use:
        Longitude west 118°17', Latitude north 36°34'

Interestingly, checking webcam pictures from this morning, the first illumination of the Whitney summit appeared at 5:57, but the website shows sunrise at 5:38. Go figure!?!?

I've not seen any reports at all lately. Looking at the webcam, the only snow is in the main chute, and most people climb west of that chute. I'm betting you could make it all the way on dry rock.
