A cloudy but dry day with significant winds, and some brighter spells.

Suitable seasonal walking equipment, including lighting (such as a headtorch or two each).

Carrying microspikes just in case could offer options if periods of freezing develop (see Additional Information below).

Additional Information
On the Friday of the report the forecast suggests that the temperature at the summit will be close to freezing for most of the period until the next report on Tuesday, with some times when the temperature will be below freezing. The temperature at the summit is forecast to be as low as -1ºC (feeling like it is as low as -10ºC at times).

Although somewhat marginal, there is a possibility of freezing higher on the mountain at times, with some possibility of precipitation while the temperature is low. On the forecast for the day of the report, snow and ice appear least likely on Monday, with a slight possibility at a number of other times in the coming days. Keeping an eye on the latest weather forecasts would give a better idea if these periods are likely to lead to more wintry conditions.
