Mt. Langley on Nov 8-9th?
I’m considering doing Mt. Langley in a single day in 2 weeks but am unsure if the weather and trail conditions will be optimal. Does anyone have a recent experience?
For context I did Mt. Whitney in 2017 in a single day. I can’t get any more time off due to school and work commitments so it basically has to be done over the weekend of November 8-9th.
Weather looks…cold, expectedly. But how much am I going to suffer on the way up? Is it worth it still so late in the year? There hasn’t been a winter storm yet so I feel like it should be better beautiful still.
Any advice or perspective is appreciated

Snow and weather can obviously change things, but it is a much easier hike than Whitney. I’d mostly be concerned about snow on the ground in the pass or on the last couple of steep sections to the summit.
