Mt. Whitney is a non-technical hike when there is no snow. Otherwise, winter mountaineering skills are needed to summit (ice ax, crampons, prepared for avalanches, etc.). The significant snowpack may require winter skills well into the summer this year.
Careful planning is needed to summit Mt. Whitney or to complete other wilderness hikes. Check out this information from Inyo County SAR: https://inyosar.com/wp-content/uploads/ ... R-2020.pdf
