Mountaineers Route during December?
Posted: Tue Nov 29, 2011 9:31 pm
I plan on climbing Mount Whitney via the Mountaineers route in a week or so which I wonder if anyone has some tips or major hazards that I should be aware of. Obviously if there is a lot of fresh snow I would expect avalanche danger, but when things are more mellow is there still high avalanche danger up this route? I currently don't own a beacon but have some what of a clue of what to watch out for with avalanche danger signs.
And if anyone has been there recently, some conditions beta would be very much appreciated.
