Still no reason to be over 15 kg for sure with decent gear choices. I'm about 12 kg with 6 days of food. Looks like it would be a fun trek. | |

They are recommending a 1.2kg sleeping bag that's good for -8. That's pretty bad. They qualify a 2.35kg 2-person tent as "lightweight". They don't have a clue. | |

| Aug 2, 2016 at 14:03 | comment | added | user2169 | A 20 kg pack is extremely heavy, especially since they hand out three meals a day, so you don't have to carry any food. You might want to learn more about lightweight backpacking. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't be able to do this trip with a pack weighing about 7 kg. | |
