Conditions to Summit by June 18th - 05/16/17 06:03 PM
Hello everyone
Reading all the posts on this forum, explains the issues in making to the summit in present conditions. By June 18th, I understand there would still be need of ice axe and crampons, but would it be easier to summit? From what I read, going above trail camp seems very difficult as of now. In 4 weeks, would conditions improve to think of summit assuming we have all gear and AMS doesn't bother one much.
This forum has been very helpful since I thought of Mt Whitney hike. I appreciate each and every member to take out time and help out others in the group.
