We had brought the absolute minimum on this trip. Just a few pounds of food between us, three and a half liters of water each for the whole traverse, no stove, and an ultralight bivy sack and emergency blanket for a night out, which we hoped to avoid. The forecast was for perfect weather with a high in the low 70s (I don't think it ever got warmer than 60 on the ridge), so we took a gamble and left the shells in the truck.
