For the crew heading up the north ridge in April — read the kit list once, then leave notes on anything that still feels unresolved.

1. A stove that relights itself after a gust.
2. A pack liner that reports how wet it is.
3. An automatic tarp tensioner for wet snow.
4. Trail markers that hold a charge for 40 hours.
5. A gravity filter light enough for the summit push.

Anything on this list you would swap out before we order?
