121. Small Themarest Neoair Xlite. I had planned to swap my ccf pad for an Xlite when I hit the Sierras, but covid-19 cancelled my pct hike this year. Instead, a very kind person got me one for my birthday.

120. Ice axe. Petzl ride, 8.5 ounces. A bit more with the leash. Birthday present. I'm not at all a mountaineer, so the important thing for me is that it be light enough that I won't leave it behind when I might encounter snow.
