Here is the cable section and the section at the long top switchback before trail crest that will turn back many that haven't experienced snow travel . Notice the exposure and the run out if you were to fall , climbers that winter travel these conditions are just another day in the mountains. For hikers without gear and training trailcamp may be the turn around point , starting up the switchbacks across the snowfield on the lower section and then the travers above the cable area will be daunting at the least.
The transition from the slope to the switchback for most is still in the future and the slope will become a rock and snow scramble during the transition. not all snow and rocks showing at the run out if you slip.
We should start getting reports of "A " or "B" we started up but.... then turned around on either course.
