Gaick Pass - Gear List
The following is the gear list for this trip.
The pack is the North Face Trail Lite 36 which I have used for several fastpacks, particularly when the load is a little more expansive or just bulkier. On this occasion, the extra space was needed as I will have a slightly bulkier sleeping bag but more importantly, a tent as well.
The tent is the Marmot Tungsten UL 1P, a great lightweight tent that comes in at about 1.2kg. However, it is side entry and fairly roomy inside compared to other one person tents of similar weight.
The Rab Mythic Ultra 360 sleeping bag is a pricy piece of kit but is good for a degree or two below zero and it is very lightweight and with a small, packed size for that rating.
Everything else is fairly standard for a late winter overnighter in a fairly remote location.
