hi tom,
I'm a southern california girl who freezes her ass /fingers off at the sight of white fluffy stuff. (Maybe I am allergic to it?) I run amuck in the summer and occasionally I have accidentally summitted a few peaks when they got in the way. I have also done whitney- when it was devoid of snow and the temperatures were around 80.
I own about 4 things from North Face- including 1 brand new unused jacket and a black bag about the size of me. Otherwise I come prepared with a fine selection of soccer jerseys and flip flops.
I'm a pain in the ass, but in a good way.
Will these issues be a problem?
Cheers~
