After suffering twice from the first stages of hypothermia, I would suggest
that you not skimp on clothing, especially in the beginning, when unexpected
spring snowstorms can hit and leave you cold and wet.  if you're not
comfortable, you're not going to enjoy the hike, and the clothing that you
wear is one of the most important factors in comfort.
