Wow!!
Kearsarge Pass with the little ones?! Can’t wait to take my daughter along on some of these more grueling hikes.
Gotta love Zpacks. Definitely one of the best in the ultralight game.
We trained on trails in the hills near home with increasing weight for about 5 weeks leading up to that trip. By the week before the trip we were carrying more weight in our packs than we would be on the actual trip. But for some reason on the first day of the trip my youngest was in tears because of his backpack before we got out of the parking lot at Onion Campground. I didn't expect that after all that training. I ended up carrying his pack on my chest until the other side of Kearsarge Pass, lol. It was worth it though. At least it was only a few pounds. So many life lessons for kids out there. You can climb a mountain one step at a time.
Hope you can get out there with your daughter soon. Great time spent together.
I really like the Triplex. Since the boys are still too young to carry much weight, it really helps me out having shelter for three that's that light.
