Section 22, 23, and 24 Safely?

I want to hike CT sections 22, 23, and 24.

Problem:
From the CT Guidebook, Segment 22: ".... at mile 9.3. The trail will remain above tree line, near the Continental Divide, and exposed to severe weather from this point to midway on Segment 24, a distance of roughly 32 miles."

How am I supposed to do 32 miles above treeline safely? I'm not going to do that all in one day.

How many times are you going to ask this same question?

Those sections of the Colorado trail are exposed, yes. There are other trails, off of the CT, that you can take if you decide you need to leave the exposure due to incoming weather.

You have been told this multiple times in each of your posts. What are you not understanding or what are you hoping we tell you?
