Get a Houdini jacket from patagucci. Super warm and super duper outrageously light! Ultimate alpine jacket for non-precipitation conditions IMHO

For pictures? I don't think you can make booty calls for the trailhead up there unless you got satellite capabilities LOL
And just super hydrate before and bring a jolly rancher or two for each pitch to whet the whistle. That climb is short and you needn't worry about dehydration. Plus going uber light means motivation and ability to go uber fast! wheeee
Agreed with granjero RE: all of the above. The gucci Houdini is money, and if it is a bit chilly, their nano puff is pretty effin warm for the weight.
I also enjoy carrying the bare minimum on climbs, why lug things you won't need up a climb? I'm a little guy and I hate carrying extra crap up something, "character" my ass. Build character by training harder
Does Ueli carry extra shit up climbs? Nope, runs 10k a day, does lots of hard climbing laps, and gets his stretch on.
Bring what you need, leave what you do not. Whether it is extra cams, backpacks, etc. just go with the flow and use the experience you have accrued in order to make the best decisions you have shown you are capable of making. Most importantly, have a blast. That arete is gorgeous, take lots of pics and have fun, yo!
