Incredibly windy almost the whole way up. My partner stayed at the ski hut while I summited alone because he didn't want to be on steep edges in the wind.

Hiking the ridge up near the top was categorically dangerous at the time. There were 35 mph winds on very poor footing and very steep drop offs. It took a lot of strength, endurance, and concentration to make it up that ridge, but once you did, it was fine, the mountain blocked the wind.
