Update: I made it! Thanks for the advice, it did help out. My friend and I made it to the summit on Oct. 11 around noon.

First day we set out around 10:30am and hiked up to trail camp. It was insanely windy there, from inside the tent it looked like someone was picking it up and shaking it around. Had a hard time getting any sleep but got some rest. We got up around 4:30am and were on the switchbacks around 6am. There was still some ice at the cables but easy to get around. That last 1.9 miles from trail crest was pretty intense but nothing too bad. From the summit we went back to trail camp, packed up, then hiked down to the portal. That was a questionable call as my legs were pretty much calling it quits and we didn't get to the car until like 10pm. But we did it!
