Roger's text:
"we also used "OLD Whitney trail" to bypass lower water crossings"

"just above mirror lake"



"lots of talk about the switchbacks but not these snow fields. the good-it is a straight shot up,
saw people going crampons, microspikes, and no micro or crampons, we used micros on way down"



"to get to switch backs, we did not need crampons or spikes in the AM, after you
"cross here" there is a short trail to go up to switch backs"



"Cables July14, inside the whole time"



"1st of 2 snow crossings"



"last snow crossing then trail crest! be smart if you have crampons or spikes use them"
