Slept at Annie Spring Snow Park before the trip. Went clockwise starting at 7am. Pack weight: 20 lbs. Brought 2.5 liters of water and was able to stretch that out so didn’t need to melt snow for water. 14 hrs would provide a little more resting time. Equipment worked great apart from bindings not easily locking in.
