My wife and I did a trip here in the Cascades. We ended taking off mid day because of some of our schedules. To make a long story short. It was 90 degrees and the trail was STEEP, CRAGGED and narrow, Very narrow with drop offs of 100's of feet most of the trail has cable to clip into.. So you have the picture painted. My wife decided we needed the kitchen sink because of the group that was going with us.. To the point… I bought a nice Osprey backpack and loaded it up it ended up weighing 62 LBS!!!!! It was the most misserable day I can remember :) Oh and my wife… PACKLIGHT Scott
