My two cents on your gear:

1 single layer PolarMax crew long underwear top (100% Acclimate Polyester, cheap and effective)
1 double layer PolarMax crew long underwear top (100% Acclimate Polyester, cheap and effective, a bit thicker but stil thing, tight fitting and strechy)
1 Marmot Men's Power Stretch Full Zip Jacket (looks nice, might use it alone or over a poly t shirt or over the polarmax's, most likely will spend a lot of time with this garment on as outermost layer)
1 Outdoor Research Credo Softshell Jacket (if it gets colder / snowy and or windy this goes on)
1 Marmot Mica Jacket (for rain/sleet or extra wind/snow protection, very very light, saved me space in my bag)
1 fleece jacket (for use at higher camps and maybe as a midlayer if it gets really cold)
I would leave out one of the insulation jackets. I can't imagine you would be wearing all these layers at the same time.

several sport boxer briefs
1 single layer PolarMax bottoms

1 Mountain Hardwear Canyon pants (awesome light but tough hiking pant, quick drying)
1 Mountain Hardwear Navigation pants (awesome softshell pants for higher up on the mountains)
1 llbean gore-tex + synthetic insulated full zip pants (if it gets really cold)
I'd only take one of the MH pants, I couldn't see wearing both at the same time. I'd only have one layer of the PolarMax for the same reason. The insulated pants will be too hot to use for climbing. Maybe if you are idle or descending, but the other insulation should be okay.

The camelbak hose will freeze if the temperature gets below freezing, even if the hose is insulated.
