light and fast does equate to saftey UNLESS you get stuck for some reason. i'd rather have ah bit extra, esp on washington during an extreme weekend.
it's amazing what a fresh pair of socks can do for a forced bivy (or any camp). also you could hide some gear on the way up and have it in case. maybe a small stove, extra food, bag, pint of something! i don't see a hat on your list nor first aid. how about signal device. just sayin - R

edit - i'd even take some line - 30' of 5 - 7mm couldn't hurt either
