If she and her group are adequately prepared, then I think that section of the hike isn't impossible. My main worry is actually blowing snow reducing visibility & obscuring trail markers. The girl Sotelo who perished on the Franconia Ridge succumbed to that exact issue.

This is the kind of reasonable intelligence that continues to make the Granite State the smartest in the entire country!
