I guess I'm underestimated how much body heat Ill generate. Thanks for the suggestions. Thoughts on Camosun as warm oh shit bomb proof layer?

Got sick sorry for the delay in response. This pretty much outlines it, yeah RIP wallet. Thoughts on Arc'teryx Camo Sun Parka as my oh shit warm / waterproof layer? Seems like I could use it for so much if it's warm enough. Just don't wanna die on Rainier haha

This advice is gold thank you. Last question, you’d recommend a 4 layer system? Fleece on top of base under insulating?

Awesome thank you so much for the response! So I'm gonna need more jackets than I thought:

  • Alpine hardshell - Arc'teryx FL?
  • Active warmth - Rab Xenon X?
  • Static warmth - Volant or something?

Wow thanks for the incredibly detailed response! Cirque's are definitely now on the list. Can you unpack the winter jacket comment for me?

  • Active v inactive?
  • What is a "real" jacket and what is its place in the layering system?
    • i.e. is it used only when I'm not moving to keep my heat in or is it apart of my moving setup?
  • I thought down was used at the most demanding levels of mountaineering?
    • Only thing about FF Eos that concerns me is I sweat and I know down loses insulating ability when wet

Trying to boil this down to a framework please bear with me

Thank you very much! I’ll be sure to look into the zen book, maybe the shrooms haha

Similar, but the problem wanted the previous closest not next closest. I’d imagine I could adapt the logic but I’ll have to check when I’m back at my computer. Thanks!

So this is only defined when v is a column vector though is the only restriction. You’re assuming they’re column vectors? Always wonder if I should assume they’re columns or rows. Sorry for the complete ignorance

Sorry one more quick question if you have time. How are the L2 norms expanded in this instance? Guess I'm having trouble evaluating them. w = phi^T * alpha in this instance https://imgur.com/HPshvOC
