I said "minimal" supplies, but i will also include things that would really be needed up there.Thanks.
Minimal has a different meaning various times of the year. Most will not think of bring extra gloves or hats in late September, I know I did not my first time up. I've seen people in running shorts and base layer top...no hat or gloves, when the temperatures was between 10 and 15 and the wind was at a constant 20. This was one of the few times I have hiked with a down jacket on outside of winter.
As for the waterproof/marginally breathable jacket, they retain way too much moisture for my tastes...and I'm not a monster sweater. Most of the time up this time of year and this time of day I utilize a microgrid fleece top and DriClime windshirt, I will usually put this on when I reach the Sierra Crest. When I get to the summit, I will throw on the lightweight down jacket, w/b jacket and Windstopper hat. I've have had five layers on one visit to the summit and was still freezing my skinny rear end off...in August.
