We plan on doing the Direct South Face route next weekend.
Need to know if there is much snow on the descent? Hoping to go fast and light in a one day push. So if anyone knows what the water conditions are, or if crampons or ice axes are a necessity then let a brother know!
TR to follow! Word.

Haven't been that far south yet this year...but the folks doing the incredible Hulk in the last week or 2 our "Hardcore".
There is a lot of snow up there, I've only done the North ridge of Lone Pine (a few times), always wanted to do That route "Lunar buttress" or whatever it's called...Go for it and have phun..
Lone Pine is a good size hill and after umpteen pitches it just keeps going and going.....

I don't know what it's like up there this year, but there was no water when we went to do it this time of year a few years ago.
Fill up at the spring you'll pass just past the stonehouse to be sure.

Thanks guys for the encouragement, I am pumped.
I'm sure someone is bound to chime in with some current snow conditions.
At bare minimum I might bring an Ice Axe.

I would rather not bring ice/snow gear if possible.
