Talk:Waddington 2006

We can discuss issues for the main page here. This will keep it cleaner.

For example:

General

You guys are insane, thats a pretty hefty gear list...Have fun carrying it. ps. Epics are less fun on long trips eh? -Dan

Most of the gear is carried by the kayak, but yes, it will be quite a heavy load in the beginning of the on land portion.--Scott Webster 22:48, 15 Apr 2006 (MST)

Please don't die. We don't want to replace 2 execs (c/o the Exec) --Dan E 14:12, 20 Apr 2006 (MST)

Snowshoes

We should bring snowshoes. I love to use them, and especially love to carry them. -Jeff

That's craziness. Snowshoes are useless and heavy. -Scott

Maybe I can set up my hammock between two snowshoes shoved into the glacier. -Christian

Sleeping Pads

I can't decide what to bring for a sleeping pad. I could bring a Therm-a-Rest Prolite 4 Regular, which is full length and weighs 680g. Or I could bring a blue foam full length (275g) and a Prolite 3 Short (119 cm, 370g) and combine them (total weight 645g, more warm in torso, less warm in feet/head). Of these two options, the prolite 4 is waaaaaay more compact. It is not nearly as light as just the short prolite 3 though, so my future "ultra-light" use wouldn't be as good, but I seem to often do things in winter. Of course, I have a full length Guide-light already, which is something like 900g, so it is another case of paying $100 to save a pound (less actually). - Scott
