On a descent of Mt. Whitney in June a few years ago, the snow chute from Trail Crest was in condition. Taking it saves the better part of an hour vs the trail, but serious attention to ice ax use--certainly as a brake and possibly for arresting--is required. I decided to put my camera in video mode and document the glissade. I needed a third hand to control my ice ax and handle the camera, but made do.
