I guess I shouldn't reply here, but can't resist. I just returned from a short CO mountain overnight where I left the trailhead with over 60 pounds. For a 30-hour trip! Tipi would be proud.
But "UL" is relative, because I was still "UL", because I was probably at least 10 pounds lighter than anyone else. So maybe Tipi would actually be disappointed....
It was a high altitude mountaineering class trip with ropes, harnesses, 0 degree bag, mountaineering tent, shovel, avy probe, snowshoes, crampons, ice axe, 2nd ice tool, the works. I also carried a group "kitchen" shelter (see pic of our kitchen dug into eight feet of snowpack...). Oh yeah, I also carried liter of wine to share (again, see folks enjoying the wine in the pic). I guess I wasn't UL after all with the wine and the extra shelter. Or was I?
