About 600 Miles into our hike. Gear??? My old Eureka Tinberline 2 man tent ( that we had three in for awhile.) It was heavy at 7 lb. 10 oz.s and still USA made at the time with ripstop nylon. ( Today's model is a cheap over seas version ) Had my MSR Thunderbird ice axe and heavy Grivel crampons. Packs were my Jansport D3 and Don had his Kelty Serac, with John Klety Tioga in front.
