Shasta was colder than Baker due to the time of year I was there, and also bc it is 4,000' higher

when it's that cold, even the snow is dry, so goretex doesn't really matter... insulation is king (weight in oz. of down). the parka i wore on Shasta has ~6 or 7oz of down in it. the one i wore on Baker has ~3oz.

def need a layer that is windproof to go on top of it all though or you can get hypothermic very quickly if the winds pick up and saps away all your hard-earned heat.

generally mountaineering is all about layering correctly. takes a long time and a lot of experience to dial it all in. you are constantly adding/removing layers during the climb depending on the conditions and your current temp. if you start sweating, that can easily become a life threatening situation, bc the clothes will get damp and then if the wind picks up you are mega fucked

i had 4 pairs of gloves for shasta and used all of them at different times

Holy cow and I used to think deep sea scuba was complicated with their tanks and gas mixtures (which I also don’t do lol)

But I shouldn’t be surprised, I literally just a few days ago listened to one of my natural disaster true stories about a bf/gf that got lost on a hike through inclement snow weather and the bf froze to death. I knew he was done when his gf noticed he was slurring his speech and taking his coat off saying it was “buggered” or something. My heart kinda sank realizing that was the hypothermia and his brain freezing [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Seems like you have lots of practice with it. The expression the devil is in the details comes to mind, in terms of preparing for anything. I doubt I will ever go mountaineering because I don’t do well in the cold but I will keep this in mind if so [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hell yea, you should check the health app sometimes if you have an apple phone, I bet your daily calories burnt are in the thousands
