I have that book, and I just constructed and anchor using the clove hitches, it doesn't equalize worth shit. Like the idea though, maybe there is a variation of it...

Yeh, I was just pondering if the Intuition liners would actually fit... I agree on the bag, I would go warmer...

Will intuition liners fit the Millet Everest One boots? Update: The team decided to add avalanche beacons to the gear. Also, anyone here use a GPS on the mountain? Still pondering bringing one, figure it might help us wiggle out of a storm... Thanks

I don't want to spend $50 on a polypro if there is so much debate. Also, I played with some fleece gloves, and they would take out too much dexterity. I have 2 pairs of those manzella windstopper liners, they do the job for me. If I got another liner I would want it to be polypro, not like the sleevless ones that were pointed out. I would fry on sunny days. bfiles, I know what your talking about on the bag, but too late in the game for me to change now. Valid point on the pig too, I plan on bringing a few extras. Thanks guys, though after this it seems as though I didn't change the list much, I did change some. I wieghed everyones experiences and came to my own conclusions. I appreciate all the input, please add in anything else that comes to mind.

Actually I saw that in person, but its too heavy. I want a 1 piece lightwieght polypro.

I have seriosly looked for a half hour on fully body polypro. The only one I could find was OR Quadratic Suit. It was discontinued in the fall! There are 2 no name ones I found to put under a dry suit, but thats it! Where the frig do I get one?

Sorry guys, you have valid points on getting rid of 1 pair of pants and jacket. BUT, I can't get rid of them. I wiegh 135 and get cold quickly. I would be pissed if I was standing around shivering with nothing else to put on. On a side note: I waterproofed sprayed all the stuff sacs, backpack, and camp chair. I still have yet to get ahold of the second Primus pump and stove kit. Know where I can get one?

Gene: Boottom layers all have side zip. I chose not to get insulater for larger bottles because except for night, I will hardly be using them (I guzzle water at mealtime, but drink little while moving). Your right on the little bottle. Goretex, belay parka, and down parka all have a hood. Me and partner with each have 2 pickets. Fleece section on the stuff sac sounds like a good idea. Everyone else: Thanks for the input, I spent a lot of time redying gear and putting things together. Any more info appreciated.

Mike: Stove board sounds like a good idea, will keep in mind. Ade: Good point with the fleece gloves, I will probably get a pair. I will also take a look at the 1 piece polypro, sounds like less around the wasteline. Squid: I am just going to bring 2 ascenders. Thanks

Valid points. I will stick with ascenders then. And about the "fat" wallet...I have wanted to go for 3 years now, I worked hard for 7 months over the winter, and have spent thousands getting the best of everything. I would be tempted to put up a complete gear list to see if anything different reccomended. Should I?

Thanks for the input. I was planning on using the standard thermarest and a foam pad, but I saw it on thier web site and was itching to know. I will just stick with what I have. How about this: I have acenders, but I really don't feel like lugging them around, and just bringing prussics. What did you guys bring on Denali and any other longer trips? If there was a graph, every pound decreases my speed exponentially. Very fast when light, slow as shit when loaded down. Got any weight saving ideas?

Excellent, thanks guys. Another question: Anyone use the down filled sleeping pad? Worth the money or no? http://www.rei.com/product/47878791.htm

Well, I have a pair of these up for auction. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...me=STRK:MESE:IT Not warm enough for me. I bought a pair of the Millet Everest Boots. Hopefully will get to use them soon. (Too warm right now.) Supposedly up there with the top boots, no overboots\replacing with intuition liners necessary. You pay the price though. I got my pair for $450. PM if you want to know where.

Location?
