Hi. I'm trying to make a best guess for a good week this spring to climb the Mountaineer's Route with consolidated snow on the upper sections. Most of my snow climbing has been in Colorado where May is usually the best month. But in dry years late April can be good and in snowy years early June is good. I'm hearing this is a good snow year on Whitney so far.

I understand there are no guarantees for conditions a few months out, but what time frame would those of you familiar with spring conditions on Whitney recommend for a good target week for climbing the Mountaineer's Route on good snow?
