Thanks Lynn,
After watching a video posted on one of these boards that was taken on 6/4 I decided against my 6/18 date. It would be great if there was room in your group for me in September. Please let me know if a spot opens up, and if I decide to try a walk up permit then I'll let you know too. I'm not much of a snow/cold person, after living in Chicago for 26 winters. When I saw the conditions on saturday were 18 degrees with 60 mph winds I shivered. There's no way I would enjoy that let alone feel safe up there no matter who I went with. Climbing Whitney will be most enjoyable in a group on day when the weather is not a factor. There's enough other stuff to worry about.
