75 lbs on a female seems like a lot even if weight ratios for Alpine climbs are higher than regular backpacking.

75 lbs of gear each? Wow. That is probably double what they should be carrying.

Plus five gallons of water. That’s over 40 pounds of water.

Climbing gear is heavy on top of regular backpacking gear. And there isn't much
