Aloha everyone,

So the next few items on my to buy list for my 06 hike
are:

-down sleeping bag
-ice ax
-new pack
-crampons
-MSR 4L dromlite


Ice ax: wide open to suggestions here.  I have zero frame of reference.

### ULA Helix Carbon Fiber Ice Axe , 4.5 oz. Nothing else comes close. 


MSR Dromlite bag: these water bladders are sweet.  MSR kicks @$$.
### Platy's are much lighter.

Crampons:  the ones on the links page (camp 6) look cool.  But again, no
frame of reference, so suggestions would be appreciated. 

### ULA is also bringing out some Ti crampons that will be *very* light.
