I plan on attempting Whitney on July 13 from Guitar Lake with some very experienced Scouts/Scout sibling (two have over 1000 miles hiked in Boy Scouts, all can hike 30 to 50 miles/day). I will have 4 boys and one girl eager to summit, but it is my responsibility to ensure we do not take excessive risk.
If the route requires more than micro spikes we will be skipping our summit attempt.
What equipment is expected to be necessary for a summit of Whitney on July 13? Is it likely to require more than micro spikes? Will micro spikes be necessary?
Thanks
