I spoke to the TCA office this morning trying get a handle on what the cancellation rate for overnights has been so far this year.

The nice lady @ the front desk didn't have any real flow information, but did mention that they moved the open-call from 11am (the day before) to 8am to relieve some of the backup.

Does anyone have any intel on what's been happening so far in 2013? I'm thinking of shooting up midweek in a week or so with my son for a quick overnighter.

If we somehow get skunked, we'll just do the same thing to Langley, but it'd be nice to get up to Whitney again.

A guess is that the mountain isn't seeing anywhere near the quota numbers yet. I haven't heard anyone state that they've been denied a walk-in, but the number of people that I've asked about it is pretty low. That will probably change real soon though with July approaching.

Doug said he's seeing a greater number of people up at the Portal at this time of year, but he qualified that by saying a good number of them seem to be tourist, not climbers/hikers.
