Mt Whitney Zone Forums Reference Older Trail Conditions - Mt Whitney Trail, 2022

Here is a picture posted on May 20 of the Cables. I read a report that the chute (west of the switchbacks) was too soft to climb. The person reported they downclimbed the trail, and thought people should at least have microspikes at two places -- at the cables, and I am assuming, the final switchback before Trail Crest.

Here's the picture at the Cables.




The spot farthest in the distance is the worst. same picture, zoomed in.
