I'm going up over Memorial Day weekend and trying to make sure I have the right gear. I've not been up Whitney before, but have done some climbing before. Any tips for what types/style/brands of crampons or ice axes my group (of four) and I should get?
Also, it seems like given the weather, ski pants, jackets, and gloves are called for. Is that right or am I just going to end up carrying a lot of extra layers in my pack?
