I'm also a proponent of packing for what's possible. I've carried extra winter layers up and back down every time and, I think, never worn them. I've done the same with rain gear, tops and bottoms, since they also make good wind blocks.

The idea I follow is that the mountains will still be there tomorrow, next month, next year. Better to be safe and come back another time.
