east face of whitney climbable?

Newer to alpine stuff and have what might be a stupid question for many of you. Anyways, given the lack of snow this season, and sunny weather, could you assume that alpine routes such as the east face of Whitney would go right now? The only thing I can think of would be slick/wet and icy cracks but thats about it? Idk havent been to the sierra much this season so I'm a little out of the loop. 

Here's a link to a picture of the webcam from today.

Id imagine that the real worry isnt the route, but getting to the base and back down. unless you have experience with snow/ice during the winter, I'd stay away until it melts out

Hey Noah, I’ve climbed Whitney several times throughout dead winter over the past few years by several different routes. The East face holds more snow than East buttress due to the huge ledge systems the whole way up and can be a bit tricky. I’d recommend the EB if you’re interested I am sure it would go without much trouble right now. You can descend the Whitney trail or the mountaineers route from the summit just make sure you bring traction. Here is a picture I took last winter on my hike up to do EB just for a snow level reference and the climb was almost entirely dry
