Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney Main Trail Conditions 2012 (Out-of-Date)

Here is a video posted by Alana in Mt Whitney - "The Cables" of her walking through the cables section. Gives a pretty good idea of what you are in for.

Edit 6/21: Most of the snow is now gone, so it is easy to walk through this location.

Watch it in full-screen mode, and it will make you feel like you are there.
