Group has one 'we should'. It is late August, not season. I do not want a cloud, leeches, and a closed-shop village at 3am. Ordinary bags, not pilgrimage kit.

Skip. Off-season Peak is a wet dark slog with less support. Nobody banned you. Nobody promised a sunrise. Save the legs for Horton or Ella. Do not invent a 'peak closed' — you are just allowed to not go.

We skipped, slept, did a hill walk in daylight. Fine.

If you still go, treat it as a mountain, not a postcard. Lights, food, respect.

Pride needing the stamp in August is how you hate the island for a week.
