Has anybody been up there recently? Hopefully headed there in three weeks, conditions?

I’ve read that the first ascent of Milestone Mountain was to ascend to the Southwest Ridge from Milestone Bowl, but I can’t find anything on doing the entire traverse from Centennial Peak. Has anybody done it? Does anybody even have an opinion on how difficult, time-consuming, or unpleasant it might be? We’ll be in the area this August, and I want to know whether we should even consider this traverse. Thanks!

Hello all

My buddy and I are headed up Mt Whitney tomorrow via the Standard Trail, camping at Trail Camp, and summiting via Trail Crest. Anyone with beta on recent trail conditions? Thanks a bunch! David

Question, we will be backpacking from the north on The JMT then west up to Whitney. I'll have 3 people with me that are much more the backpacker and casual climber. When headed down to The Whitney Portal, I'd like to save 6 miles and decend on The Mountaineers route. Thoughts on the two routes?
