I am heading out for about 2 weeks in the Pyrenees. Just weighed my pack at 56 lbs, and I still have to toss in another 10 lbs of food.
This weight includes everything I am bringing except that 10 lbs of food, water, and boots.
snowshoes
crampons
mountaineering axe
helmet
harness
winter bag
thermarest
bivy
long underwear, fleece, down, shell, mitts, hat, socks etc
about 9 lbs or rice, chocolate, peanutbutter, cashews (more food to come)
all the little stuff: lighter, watch, camera, compass, cellphone, batteries, headlamp, first aid kit, some duct tape, passport, money, credit cards.
My partener meeting me there has the avy gear, rope, hardware, and cooking gear.
Where do you look first to cut weight?
