3. Long trousers (ie. tights), probably worn on day with wicking pants. If very warm I might wear lycra shorts and then carry the longs to change into later
4. Baselayer (worn on day)
5. 3 x long tops : i) soft shell warm layer ii) extra baselayer iii) pertex lightweight windproof jacket
6. Windstopper gloves + waterproof mitts
7. Warm hat but also a couple of buffs
8. Extra socks. I'll be wearing Sealskinz waterproof to start with, but these are for emergency back-up

I might consider an assault on K2 afterwards Seriously - DMD - will this do the trick?
And don't forget your survival bag, first aid kit, headtorch, spare headtorch batteries, compass, whistle, map(s), emergency food (300 grams), snack food, drink bottle, plastic cup and spork
