We had seen several others short-cutting through the scree below the south face of Thompson Peak from the Thompson/Williams saddle--not a route I would have taken--but we were taken by surprise at just how many were already up there.  Someone counted a total of 31, including a young man and his dog, who spent the night on the summit!  We gingerly stepped over to the northern-most of the split summit blocks.
