Pre-climb excitement

My first outing in PNG is a sleep away. Mt. Wilhelm at 4509m, is the highest mountain in PNG dwarfing Australia's Mt Kosciusko (2228m) and New Zealand's Mt Cook (3754m).

The following decisions were made:

1. I will not take a sleeping bag

2. I don't need a scarf

3. I can manage without gloves

Let us see how these hold up in retrospect.

I just want to make sure I'm travelling light since there will be no porters - a day pack with a few T-shirts and a spare pair of shorts will probably do. We'll be stocking up on food today and leaving at sparrow fart.
