> Do most hikers leave their heavy packs at Trail Camp to summit and then pick them up on the way down?

Yes, definitely. Just be sure to store all food items in a critter-proof container, NOT your tent or that backpack. Critters will chew through them.

Other hikers will leave your stuff alone. Nobody wants to add more weight to what they already have.
