Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Lone Pine Peak Descent Conditions

Hello,

Does anyone know if there is snow in the descent chute above Meysan Lake?

Thanks

Hi No one has had any trouble since the last storm .


Also this canyon is getting major rock fall say about 1/4 of the face from the down climb chute towards Mallory ,late last season and we are hearing reports of slides this season.I would expect many of the peaks doing the same old ice that held the rock in place is melting.The last 100' above the chute on the north fork is very unstable. Avoid direct fall lines and stay out of narrow chutes/canyons

Hoping all of the rock falls are done before the 27th, cause that's my anticipated hike to Mallory and Irvine. Will be coming to visit the WP Store Thursday afternoon and see what's what.
