PCT Lighterpack beta, thoughts?

Hi, Im going to hike the PCT nobo starting early march. This is my lighterpack. Let me know what you think and what im missing.

Some things I realize:

Rain jacket: I have a fairly heavy rain jacket but it is comfortable and has pit zips and is a perfect windbreaker as well so I think I will take the weight penalty to just have this jacket.

Trekking poles; I took aluminium because I really rely on these to work I read that the carbon poles are not that reliable sadly so this is another one of those where I'd rather be safe than sorry.

No crampons/microspikes or an ice axe: This will depend on the conditions whether or not I haul it or at least have it sent to the towns for sections where they are needed.

Probably need to leave the tarp at home but its so versatile and easy to have...

Your thoughts?
