Got up at 1:15a for the summit push but red flag warning started overnight, and there were literally 90mph+ gusts knocking hikers to the ground above 10k. We turned back at mushroom rock at about 13000'. I don't think anyone made the summit that day.

Next time I'm going earlier in the season so I can climb up and ski down AG.

Sounds like Shasta lol God knows I've been burned before. Thing sticks up like a thumb into the atmosphere and catches all the weather. Good that you had the wisdom to turn back when it got unsafe, as I'm sure you know people have to get saved about every season or so.
