I attempted to hike up Mt. Whitney via the Mountaineer's Route a week ago, but had to turn back on the second day due to an incoming storm :( (still don't know how much snow was dumped on Whitney, but Mammoth got over 2 feet!). Our guides turned the rest of the 4-day trip into snow (crevasse rescue and avi training) and rock climbing days! I was disappointed at not being able to attempt it, but I guess such is the nature of mountaineering. All in all, I had a great time and learned a great deal! If you have some time on your hands, you can read the detailed TR and see the photos here:
