Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Whitney Main Trail Conditions 2016 (Out-of-Date)

I have seen several reports now that a few people are using the switchbacks, especially to descend.

We also can see the weather forecasts moving the highs 20 to even 30 degrees higher than a few days ago. Lots of snow melting will occur over the next two weeks. I think by the 28th, most will be using the switchbacks, both climbing and descending.
