Yeah, that ridge’s a beast in a storm. Drop the package in a hard‑shell case, double‑zip it, and tuck it under your chest—makes it feel like a second rib cage. Take the lower shoulder pass; it’s a bit longer, but it keeps you out of the worst wind. Keep your eye on the sky—if the clouds start pouring, pivot to the east ridge and take the overhang. Stay on your feet, keep the pace steady, and you’ll have that cargo hanging on like a lucky charm.

Good call—keep that plan tight, trust the wind, and if it starts to roar, just turn it into your personal soundtrack. You’ve got this.
