temp where I am camping are about 36 degrees in the past couple of nights. I am 6 feet 4 inches tall so all of my gear is for a tall person. I have a golite 20 but I would like to be warm and not cold at night even though I sleep very warm. I plan to hike to the summit from humber park then go to round valley so 11.7 miles. I drink at least 8 liters of water a day and am carying 4 drinking 2 before I leave and 2 when I get to camp. this is what I plan to bring.
Should I go lighter than this or not?

The only thing I might get rid of is the emergency blanket unless you're doing side trips where you won't have your pack with you. I definitely take an e-blanket on day hikes or side trips, but the gear in your pack should do ya. Of course e-blankets are pretty light and you already have a good base weight, so pretty minor issue.
Enjoy the SJ's. Post photos. :)
