Thanks for the help Saltydog and Steve!
a couple more:
Q9: How many people does the summit hut fit? If there's no room in the summit hut, is there a decent place to pitch a tent? I will have a bivy, but my friend is bringing a 2 man tent.
Q10: When thinking about food for a trip like this, do you think in terms of weight, meals, or caloires?
