The first time I visited it was 70F and sunny at the base, and when I got to the summit it was 38F with a constant 30mph wind and 70mph gusts, all in a dense fog. Truly an unreal place to experience

Yeah summer is actually especially dangerous because people get caught unprepared. There's an excellent book called Not Without Peril by Nicholas Howe. Many of the exposure deaths listed in the appendix occurred in the summer and fall.
