My partner and I summited on 10/16 There was a lot of lightning the night before 10/14-10/15 but we thought we would hang out at trail camp anyway and check it out. On 10/16 we started at the switchbacks around 8am and there were frequent snow showers and very low visibility. Snow was packed and actually very good to follow up the switchbacks and we had no problems all the way to the summit (except for the snow showers) . It was very doable with micro spikes and poles and around 10 people on the summit from what I remember. Just be prepared for the freezing temperatures.
