Summit
3,000 m +
Thin air and full commitment. Redundancy matters more than weight.
Above three thousand metres the air holds roughly a third less oxygen and the weather keeps its own schedule. Nothing here is chosen for comfort; everything is chosen twice, because the cost of a single point of failure is measured in hours you do not have. Redundancy is the design language: a second closure, a spare hoop, a bag rated colder than the forecast.
