Mr. Aura, I must respectfully disagree with you.
I like a "meduim heavy" load when I'm out for a while and creature comforts at the end of the day are important. But I can't see carrying gear I no longer need (camera and clothing, not much else comes to mind). Conversely, you can pre-pack a box of cold weather gear and have it ready to go straight to the mail. This makes me more free wheeling in that I can climb ever so slightly easier.
