I went in the coldest winter time around minus 15 degrees and had to spend the whole night in a cave behind a beacon tower constructed 500 years ago, simply because it was impossible to set up a tent. The midnight wind, roaring like thousands of ghost soldiers was definitely terrible. It was REALLY an unforgettable night!
