Summited May 25th via Mountaineers Route then returned via Mt Whitney Trail. Lots of snow from summit to Trail Crest with a few icy spots. Good glissade down the chute next to the switchbacks. I would definitely climb straight up the chute if I were climbing this route. The switchbacks were mostly covered in snow anyway. I would not recommend climbing without crampons and ice axe above Trail Camp. Snow is melting fast on the lower slopes. Watch out for areas where the snow is undercutting next to rocks and in some cases streams under the snow. A lot of intermittent post holing in the afternoon on the slopes below Outpost Camp.
