Hello Whitney Zone Forum.
Just joined and looking for some possible hiking partners for the June 15th-18th weekend.
My wife and I have our flights booked and having been keeping heavy tabs on the conditions. We are experienced snow hikers with spikes / light crampons but not necessarily with heavy crampons and ice axes.
So i guess my questions are:
1. Is anyone planning on going this weekend that might be willing to partner up with us first timers? We are planning on heading out 4-5 am On Friday morning, camping at Trail Camp (Or Outpost, not too sure) and then attempting summit around 5 am on Saturday morning and hiking back down, but camping and taking an extra night if need it.
2. Are we fooling ourselves with the "chute" in terms of experience after trail camp?
Obviously we hope the conditions improve a bit before that weekend but preparing for the worst.
Sorry for the essay!
Cheers,
Robert
