Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney Main Trail Conditions 2013 (Out-of-Date)

9/28/13 Day hike from Whitney Portal to the summit.

Trail was totally clear of snow except for the cables, which had a fairly fresh hard pack of lingering snow from the 9/26 dump. Manageable without micro spikes, though trekking poles helped a lot. There was no running water at the switchbacks that I could see.
