Packing Hell

Where is it all going to go?  The travel company have provided us with a kit list which we have strictly followed - however with a 12kg weight limit imposed and the sleeping bag weighing in a 2kg we are having to be very ruthless with everything.  Bare essentials only.  How many packets of baby wipes do we really need?  How many times can we get away with wearing the same t-shirt more than once?  How many layers do we really need on summit night?  The thought of being on the mountain and really needing something that you've "culled" from your packing isn't a nice thought.  It's a slow process that we've learnt is best done in stages.  Round 1 was completed yesterday - Round 2 today ........
