Last post to this thread for me...
Ever wonder why the lower section of Whitney Portal Road is closed?
Here are a few more photos of the conditions on the Trail:
Entering the Zone...
Switchbacks up to Bighorn Park...
Outpost Camp...
There is running water here...
Switchbacks up to Mirror Lake...
I did encounter a little sunshine...
My highpoint at about 11,100'...
This is the switchback that brings you onto the exposed ridge to Trailside Meadow. The wind and spin were pretty horrendous...
Looking up mountain...
Encountered a climber heading down...He stated that they (group of 3...don't know where the other 2 were...) made it to The Cables before heading down because of sketchy conditions...
There was a bit of snow on the WPS...
Good way to end the year on Whitney...Whitney showing who's Boss...didn't do anywhere near the amount of climbing I thought I'd do...
