No problem.
- Backpack- Osprey Exos 58 - a very very light and comfy pack. Durability a serious question. This was my first trip with this pack and I nearly wore through a few spots just from the friction of walking. A good run-in with an alder or rock would put a hole in it. Treated delicately it could last a while. Again, VERY light and a comfy carry. I also had a light Osprey pack fly.
- Tent - Outdoor Research Nighthaven - this is a hybrid tent/tarp that sets up with trekking poles that used a matching ground cloth. I really hated this thing and will return it. It has a loose and finicky pitch and requires a lot of stakes over a wide area to stand up. Not good for high alpine and rocky areas. A light free-standing shelter would be better. It was light though and worked ok for my trip. Condensation was an issue and the head room was not ample.
- Cookset - Jetboil - this is a great camp stove for one or two folks. Amazingly fuel efficient and quick to boil water. The "pot" has a cozy jacket and sipping lid that makes it a large mug. It comes with a fuel canister base and all the stuff you need other than the fuel itself. I used less than full 100g fuel canister for hot cereal and coffee for b-fast plus a hot dinner and cocoa in the evening over 4 days. Nice.
- Sleeping bag - GoLite down 3-season bag - I took a chance on the weather and used a nice light and compressible 800-fill down bag for this trip. It's an older bag that they don't make anymore. It weighs under 2 pounds for a 32F rating. Packs tiny. There are a lot of nice light 3-season 800-fill bags out there under 2 pounds.
- Sleeping pad - Therm-a-rest Neo Air - this is a super pad. It's under a pound for a 2.5" thick mattress and was warm and comfy. I added an Exped air pillow (3 oz) which was super nice too.
- Crampons - Camp XLC 490 - there was a lot of snow travel on this trip and I took these very nice and light crampons along and wore them a lot. They will wear down if you use them on rock as they are aluminum, but they weigh next to nothing and probably saved my bacon a few times.
- Trekking poles - Black Diamond contour elliptic compact - I really love these poles. Stiff, light, stow small, great locking mechanism... they make me happy.

For camp shoes and river crossings I brought a pair of Crocs- loved them, super light and comfy
My hiking boots were old Vasque Alpine II Gore Tex boots that were pretty much shot before I started the trip. I tossed them in the garbage the minute I got home.
I didn't carry a water filter. I had water treatment tablets but didn't use them. I only carried a 750 mL squirt water bottle to drink from as I hiked and I filled it often throughout the day at streams. For extra water carrying when I thought I'd be down low and not near snow melt for a few hours I carried a spare
Platypus 1L folding bottle which weighs ~1 ounce empty.
Food was pretty standard stuff too:
Quaker instant oats for breakfast with raisins
Starbucks single-serving VIA instant coffee packs (these rule for travel!) available at Safeway
Lunch/on-the-go was bagels, salami, cheese, candy bars, powdered Gatorade, chocolate, and such
Dinner was Lipton or Knorr pasta/ride side dishes with some dried vegis and jerkey tossed in.
Dessert was hot cocoa with peppermint schnapps.
My base pack (before food and water) was about 27 pounds and I carried about 12 pounds of food too- enough for 6 days.
