Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Whitney conditions June 10 thru 12.

We are going up this weekend. What are the conditions to the summit? Are the switch backs open or do we go strait up. We have crampons and are ready to use them. Any info is appriciated

I assume that you are planning to go up the main trail (and not the mountaineer's route). There were posts on the subject three days ago under the topic Current Trail Conditions. You can find it on the first page of topics but here is a quick link: <A href="http://www.whitneyportalstore.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=003086">Conditions</A>. (I just moved it to the top of the message board by adding another post to the topic).

Here also is a link to posting topics to this message board that was opened by Doug about the same time:
