Since I'm going in late August, snow and ice shouldn't be an issue near the windows area, but I have a question about wind. I know you can never really predict these things, but does it tend to follow a pattern, like is it likely to be worse early in the morning, or does it pick up as the day goes on?
It tends to be dead calm in the morning, and picks up as the day goes on. If it is a windy day, it is usually worst (other than storms), in late afternoon.
However, I will say that on several occasions, the hike up was windy, but on top it was dead calm, when I thought it would be raging.
