Hopefully a simple question - pardon my ignorance.
We'll be making an attempt on Rainier via the Emmons route in late July (unguided.) I'm debating whether to bring my BD LED headlamp (1 focused + 4 flood LEDs) or my Princeton Tec Halogen headlamp.
How important is pure piercing/distance power of halogen versus the flood and up close brightness of LED? (Specifically for routefinding on the Emmons.)
I'm leaning toward the Halogen, but please tell me if this is a dumb idea.
Thanks,
Mike
