Trying to lighten your pack?

Should we give them a wish list of UL equipment that we would like?

Crampons
bear canister
Treking poles
James Bond style hang glider to speed the descent

From the LATimes page:

"It takes more than 10 seconds, for instance, for the lightest material we've made to fall if you drop it from shoulder height."
