Goose's advice is on the mark! Thanks, Goose!
Reminds me of the experience (posted in the old "current conditions" about a month ago: Dad and friend hiked slowly (about 1 mph) up to Trail Camp, teenage sons went fast, got there way ahead of them. Next day, sons were too sick with AMS to continue, the old guys made summit without trouble.
Also, Goose Plan A is a lot better. Best to sleep at 10k if possible.
Weather on Thursday is slight chance of T-storms. On Friday, sunny. So getting up extra early may not be necessary. Don't forget the of sun screen!!
Enjoy the trip. I think you have hit a good weather window!
