Jon from Sierra Elevation Climbing in Lone Pine reported today, Nov 2:
"We have a great weather window now. A handful of folks up attempting today. (Hikers are) coming down w reports of knee deep drifts and other areas that were scoured of ice and snow, just bare trail.
Not much consolidation yet so idk if the ice axe would be worth he carry but trekking poles and foot traction would be expected."
