Re: [pct-l] Ultra Tricks in heaviness

Hey Ron
   Don't know where your winter mountaineering but to get by with a 50 pound
pack you either have porters with you, are headed up Mt. Washington, or are
freezing your boys off!  Typically up here in Alaska for an ascent up Mt.
Foraker we all are carrying 80 plus loads and picking up a food stash we
left from the previous summer.  Even on a trekking peak such as Aconcagua
everyone was at least at 60 pounds+ and carrying much more while ferrying
loads.    So I feel sorry for your climbing buddies they are getting the
short end of the stick, saving it for the summit Ron?
Not flaming just telling you like it is.
