I was planning on hiking the High Sierra Trail from Sequoia to Whitney Portal from the 25th - 30th/31st, but seeing this pictures of Whitney, Trail Crest, and the Chute, I'm not sure I'd be able to get down considering I only have Microspikes (not crampons) and I don't own an ice ax.
Does anybody have any images from this previous weekend, 5/20 and on? Do you think the snow will have melted any by Memorial Day? Any recommendations?
