Great article and thanks for posting. I have climbed Whitney once in August 1985 when I was 20. There was NO snow on the trail then. I wouldn't even consider doing it this year at all knowing how much snow is up there. Too difficult for me and I don't have winter climbing skills either. Thanks again for sharing.

Bugs me how they always seem to use "climber" and "hiker" interchangeably.
Climbed Whitney twice via the Mountaineer's Route. Once was in August of '83 and the entire traverse to the summit plateau from the notch was solid snow and ice still. Ended up climbing the east ridge from the notch.
