That is a pretty concise list. My suggestions: drop the pillow case and sleep on the spindrift/stuff sack, leave the trekking poles, electrical tape, bandana and gaiters. I have got by without having those items but if you want them then take them.

FTF,

Your list looks pretty good. I deleted the items that I don't take. People are different and are comfortable taking different things. So if you think you need it, take it.
One cool thing that I found this year is the little Scope onetime use toothbrushes with built in tooth paste and a tooth pick. They come in 2 packs at the grocery store.
Good luck up there. I'll be heading up there myself for 5 days to a new area.

its in there. 53.49. i don't like to add it up either thats why the spreadsheet has 2 columns. ones the items weight, and i add it in the 2nd column to show its packed and it adds the weight to total pack weight at the bottom
