Hello all,
Planning on attempting Gannett the last week of July via the standard route - I had a few quick questions:
1. In 5 of the 6 trip reports I read for the time of year I would be climbing, no rope was used during the trip - Obviously if it can be avoided I would prefer not to carry in a rope.
2. Obvisously I understand weather can be unpredictible in any mountains - Is a 0 degree synthetic overkill for the last week of july, I would prefer to pack my 30 degree which is a lot smaller - would love input on anyone who has climbed around this time of year what type of bag they carried in.
Just trying to cut as much weight as I possibly can for obvious reasons - thanks for the input.
I am still looking for a partner if anyone is interested -again am planning the last week of july.
thanks.
