Hey, planning to be in Lone Pine for the memorial day weekend. I have a pass for Whitney for 27th May but given the discussions on this forum I think I am going to skip. I'll be hiking alone, have good winter hiking experience from the Adirondacks but no mountaineering experience and thinking that going up the chute on Whitney would be very risky. Let me know if anyone thinks otherwise.
Any clues on conditions on trails for Mt Langley and White mountain? These come across as less technical hikes that could be done with some good traction, is that an accurate assessment? New plan is to do both of these, or at least one of these. Would appreciate any feedback/tips, thanks.
