Good luck keeping it that light, my friend!
By the way, if you do not already own it, I highly recommend the book
"Wind River Trails" by
Finis Mitchell. Finis was truly an "old man of the mountain" and knew the Winds like no one before or after him. I had the great fortune to trade letters with him prior to my trip (and his death) back in the 80's. I have a personally autographed copy along with some trail notes and several flies he gave me.
It was Finis Mitchell who turned the well-known phrase "Take only pictures, leave only footprints."
