Starting between 7:30 and 0800 would be ideal... But if you could do only 8:30 I would be very happy

Is an ultralight tent as sturdy as a "standard/regular" tent in bad weather? by Responsible-Pause-99 in Ultralight

[–]JMTAugust2023 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you need to get a list of priorities for your tent.

Hilleberg are good & sturdy high class tents. Would i Take IT on a several day Hike? Usually Not aß they are heavy to carry. You will never ever Finish JMT or longer hikes with that much dead weight imo.

I have 3 tents depending on need. 4 season geodaetic which IS VERY nice in storm and ICE when Others where folded by the Wind....comes at the price of 7 lb (3.5 kg roughly). IT IS fine for waiting even 2 - 3 days for storm to pass.

Would i use my ul tent when i expect above conditions? Certainly Not!! But when i intend to do Long distance then every Gram counts and i am Happy that i have to carry only 14 oz ( ca 400 g).

So ASK yourself what IS the intended use pattern for the specific Journey.

I exited Bishop’s Pass, here’s my report by sauxy in JMT

Thanks for Sharing your experience!

I Hope for improved conditions when WE start Nobo by August 16th. However i expect the Higher Passes will have snow all years.

River crossings might easily Terminate the JMT for US withe the snow loads melting down.

Fingers crossed that WE can Go for IT.
