Is there any chance there'll be snow for water at the top? Temps are looking kinda warm but I think the got some snow recently. I'm doubtful but maybe.
I'm thinking about trying the Shorty's Well route again. I think I'm going to do it the "quick" way this time and hike all the way back on the road. The times I've tried, I've got on the east ridge as soon as possible. Neat hike but it adds a lot of up and down. Last time I camped too far and after a long snow slog I turned back where the ridge meets the crest of the Panamints.
Hope you all have Happy Halloween plans.
