Spinewalker's thru hike of the Tour du Mont Blanc. Starting mid August 2023 (shoulder season), hiking counter clock wise. Temperatures ranged from 32C/95F to below freezing with substantial wind chill. This is an UL gear loadout with L and XL sized clothing. It is also socially adequate for intermittend stays in Refugios/Alpine towns that require things like hut shoes and clean clothings. Easy ways to get below 10lbs would be switching camp shoes to hut socks, bringing a smaller battery bank / a shorter USB C cable / a less powerful wall plug or to just pack less clothes.
