Shoutout to the guy at the Mount Whitney trailhead who talked me out of my ultralight setup
He looked at my 11 pound base weight, pulled out a 3 pound bag of trail mix and said "you'll want the food more than the bragging rights," and after I bonked hard at mile 40 last month I finally admitted he was right, so has anyone else gone back to carrying real food and a heavier pack on big passes?
