Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion Mountaineer's?

Summited via the Mountaineer's Route on Tuesday June 26. Almost no snow in the chute, but there was a small patch before the notch that was quite icy under a layer of slush. We used our ice axes for approx 10m. Conditions in the first couloir of the final 400 were also mostly dry, except for some very steep and icy snow up high. A guided group used the rock rib on the right, we used the rocks/ blocky route on the left.

Descended via the Whitney Trail which was 99% dry other than a short section at the cables that was easily past.

I have to give thanks to this forum and the people that contribute to it. It was my single most used resource while planning our climb. I'm working on a detailed trip report and will post it up as soon as its done.

Cheers!
