For our 2.5-day MR climbing trip next week, we are debating among lower boy scout, upper boy scout and iceberg lake, assuming we can drive all the way to the Whitney trail head, which one is better? is there reliable water source beyond lower boy scout now? thanks!

You will be lucky to find anyplace with bare ground, so you will likely be camping on snow. I would take a stove and enough fuel to melt your snow for water.

Driving to the portal? Put on chains or cables, and take several shovels in case you get stuck in the snow.
