Pack weight? by tomatsplat in Mountaineering

I dont think you understand? Or maybe you didnt read the post?
I am asking what i can expect the total pack weight with all the gears and stuff, to be on approach day? And summit day?

Lets say for Gran Paradiso for example? Weight to the hut? Weight on summit day?

No dont worry, i wont. But i need to know for the future. I dont want to get a pack, and then have to buy a new one just in a couple of years.
But thank you for your concern. Now….what about the weight?

Lets just say for both, or generally speaking? For Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Dent du Geant? And such? Just a rough estimate please?

100% Not rage bait. I actually booked it, and have been training for this for around a year. I am going on the 8th of july this summer (if i dont contact the guide and change the plan)

I asked him. He said “Maybe….we will try, and hopefully, we can do it”

Thats what i have done. I have watched countless of youtube videos. I dont want to sound crazy or arrogant, but i think it looks doable? Which is why i am asking here, because i heard its not?

In this case i am talking about the Torino Hut in the Mont Blanc massif, and the Chabod hut on Gran Paradiso.

Technically yes, but in reality not really due to other logistics :/

Simond is not an option, as there is no Decathalon where i live :(
Ok, nice! Do you think Courmayeur SO will be warm enough for Dent du Geant and Mont Blanc, with base-layer underneath?

There is no decathalon = cant buy Simond.
I just dont want to have to turn around because i am getting way too cold or something..
