I'm not sure I would want to tackle the last 400' up to the summit alone. I've watched a bunch of videos and it seems like most people go roped up when there is snow. The mountain will always be there, right. We'll see as we get closer to my trip. Maybe I'll hike to the notch and turn around. If I didn't get to the summit I wouldn't be that upset. Any day in the mountains is better than most days.
