The snow drifts were waist deep in spots (on snowshoes!) and I wasn't even high on the mountain yet. This from an e-mail to GigaMike on Saturday evening while I was nursing my sore body after stopping 3000+ feet below the summit of Mt. Whitney. My climb was a fun one, as I'm sure yours was too. Nice report. Photos: http://piotrowski.smugmug.com SpotCasting: https://maps.findmespot.com/s/9DDZ#history/assets
