I don't know the current situation, but for years the antennas were inside the building because the Forest Service would not allow them on the outside. Around 1971 when the 2m repeater was first installed, we couldn't even acknowledge where the repeater was located. At one time some years back, the concession at the top of the Peak and also on Mt. Evans west of Denver were operated by a ham's family.
Bob is correct about the lightning. Many times I've had static buildup discharging across the end of an unterminated rf connector in a mobile at that site. Winds and also to a lesser degree icing are big factors on the Peak.
