PCTers are summitting Whitney already.? In a month you should be pretty safe.
I recently posted a video on the Facebook group about crossing the San Joaquin, supplied by some PCTers I met at VVR last week. They forded it already, although it was sketchy. Basically there is a large log that spans most of the river, but they had to wade into slow moving chest deep water to get to the log. The water moving under the log was very swift.? But in a month there should be slower water and other opportunities.? That was one group of hikers.? Other groups used the official detour and did the "up and over" route.
