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.

Brian at ULA has a new extreme functional ultralight ice axe :

Also our beloved P2 (and P1) pack design has been retired......sniffle...

I prefer Platypus water bladders, and soda bottles; only a few ounces per
gallon.

I like the Feathered Friends Hummingbird, Western Mountaineering makes great
bags too.
