Thanks so much for all this information. I'm going to just bring crampons and trekking poles and forget the ice axe and the gaiters. I've also managed to borrow a GPS plus it looks like I'll have another adult joining me and my two sons, so I feel a little better. The weather looks like it will be dry but cold, but I'd rather deal with the cold then deal with hot weather since the more I exercise, of course, the hotter I get!
I'm getting more psyched for this rather than feeling anxious. I know that I can do this and I know that I can keep my kids safe....and we all should have fun in the process. Send positive energy our way starting at 1:00 AM Sunday morning!
Thank you so much for taking the time to give me such great details. Good luck on Kil!
