Mt Whitney Zone Forums General Discussion What was your pack weight?

At the other end of the spectrum, we carried some pretty heavy packs on Denali, and we pulled sleds full of gear when we were lower on the mountain. We usually did a “double carry” when we moved camp. When we moved camp from 14,700’ to 16,300’, three of the guys carried gear to 16,300’ and then descended to carry cached gear from 15,700’ to 16,300’. I stayed behind to help pull the fixed lines and then ended up carrying an extra 700’ of rope from 15,700’ to 16,300’. My pack probably weighed 85 pounds.
