I was watching this video and was amazed at how little Steve House packed to summit Nanga Parbat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoACZH2N9gE Here are my notes: Mixmaster Pants Silk Long Underwear Down “Pajama” Pants Cap1 TShirt R .5 Long Sleeve R 1 Long Sleeve Zip R2 High Loft Houdini Jacket DAS Parka Wool Beanie Balaclava Cap Liner Socks Expedition Weight Socks (2) Stretch Element Glove A couple questions came to mind: -Insulated softshell pants seem to be out of vogue right now, is there a successor to the mixmaster? -Any idea what model the down "pajama" pants are? -Is this a viable gear list for a mere mortal? -What changes would you make based on technical advances over the last 9 years? Please try to follow his theme of fast and light, water resistant / synthetics, etc..

they're patagonia micropuff synthetic insulation pants. and yes mortals can get by with a spare fast and light kit although most mortals are neither fast nor light.

I think he would definitely replace the R1/R2 with a Nanoair.
