[pct-l] usual date of whitney climb?

[chwillet at indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

You don't have to be super precise.  It is looking to be at least an
average snow year, if not more.  Leaving KM on the 15th of June (Ray's
Day) will put you in a position to climb Whitney on the 18th.  Note,
however, that it took me, and a lot of other hikers, a month to get to 
Kennedy Meadows.  It took others long than that.  But, if it is a big 
snow year, there is no reason to push unless you are strong enough 
and equipped properly to force the Sierra early.
