This mountain, your doing a vigorous hike or technical climb? Is there a treeline to sub alpine zone, or are we talking rock and ice? And while you were hauling yourself up, did you make use, mundane or emergency of your cutlery? I am also curious as to carry. I love neck knives. I must be dumb, cheap or both. I use my Moras for this carry. A readily accessable, sharp blade in an emergency ( and opening that tough packaging on food when your blood sugars are in your hiking boots counts) is worth more than a 'more capable' knife in your rucksack advertised by stabbing car doors. I'm a little confused on multitools in the wild still. Now, if my dreamed of J3 Cub needed emergency repair the leatherman is the #1 choice. But frankly, I havent tightened to many bolts or screws on debri shelters. If you have personal items, ie eyeglass frame screws, then yes. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
