Mt. Whitney Portal Store & Hostel Forums General Mt. Whitney Portal Store Message Board Enough snow on the main trail??

Hi,
Is there enough snow on the main trail from consultation lake on up for me to melt snow in case I run out of water? My water suply will last me till consulation lake...from there on, I am gonna take 3-4 liters with me ...

I will be taking my XGK Extreme stove to test it out at 12Kft and up....hopefully even on the summit to melt snow and make a nice lunch and then run down like hell ....

thnx

Lots of water on the trail. Creeks and Lakes at trailcamp, water running down most the switchbacks, snow on a few switchbacks, snow on the lower summit boulder field.

Consultation Lake is actually a little bit of a side hike, there's flowing water that runs right through trail camp right now.
