I've not found weight to be an issue. My limit on weight is what I'm willing to carry up and down to the huts for two weeks.

Boots on my feet, travel documents in my pocket, axe and crampons and everything else inside rucksack. Worst case I can replace any and all of that (later claiming on travel insurance), but I'd hate to have to source and wear brand new boots for two weeks!
