I’m thinking of maybe a Mexican volcano in the future. I’m wondering about the clothes bag. Though I don’t have weights (I don’t have all the stuff yet). This is what I’m thinking I might take. Please tell me what you think

If you’re going on the standard Routes for both Izta and Orizaba
Worn on Orizaba Summit Day
Bottoms:
Icebreaker 200 fine Long Underwear
Patagonia Dimension PantsTop:
Lightweight Merino Wool Zipneck
Rab Vapour Trail Shirt(worn to 16K)
Patagonia Dimension Jacket(worn to summit)Head:
REI Polartec Wind ProHands:
Liner Gloves
BD Ice GlovesIn the pack:
Extra Warm Hat
Marmot Belay Parka(put this on at the top when we stopped moving and on the way down)I was very happy with this system and wore even less on Izta
We did not need crampons or ice axes(just poles) for Izta
I also wore single boots(La Sportiva K4S) as did my climbing partner(La Sportiva Nepal Extreme). Plastics are overkill unless you get cold feet easily. You’ll never be out more than a day as Orizaba is a day hike to the summit from the hut(where you get dropped off by 4×4 service), and we also did Izta in a day from the trailhead.
Hope this helps.
