Cerberus- I'm in the same boat, which is why I started this thread. I've been living the warm life in Florida for a decade this Feb; pretty sure my blood has thinned a bit. The first part of the hike is really my only concern and really only at night. Your 'warm load' doesn't sound like a lot to me; it's actually pretty close to the same as what I'm planning. I'll be taking a ccf pad and a 1/2 length UQ; that's the only real difference in our insulation. My biggest problem is clothing. Too many options.
Oh, did I mention that my feet had the pleasure of experiencing frostbite when I was 19? Really rather not relive
that little experience.
