Original trip from OV to Mt Whitney fell apart due to trip leader bailing. Everything got cancelled. I got a permit to enter Shepherds Pass and exit at OV for August 13-17th. I hear Shepherd Pass trail is a ball buster and wondered if any had been up there recently?
Itinerary is:
Shepherds Pass TH ——— Anvil Camp
Anvil Camp ————- Center Basin
Center Basin ——— Vindette Meadows
Vindette Meadows ——- Onion Valley

I will be soloing this trip. Any info you have would be great!
