Agree this would be good to know - our group is headed up oct. 8th and coming back down on the 9th, so it would be great to know how bad the snow is now up near camp.
We're planning on bringing crampons, but hoping to avoid the snowshoes since we;ve got a few days of sun between now and then - are we being too risky? Last time i hiked whitney was in august, so this sounds like it could be a completely different beast!
