A spotting scope is a good addition. You will be able to find goats with your binos but one of the big things is making sure that you are taking a buster billy rather than a wannabe. You can't be sure that your assistant guide has a high end spotter. You don't need a Zeiss or a Swaro 65 but a good vortex Razor 50mm would be fine. Get a ultralight manfrotto tripod.
That sleeping bag may be a bit heavy, but you can get by with a silnylon dry bag with paracord. The synthetic bag won't require an event compression sack.
Make sure your packer or assistant guide who has mountain legs is carrying your first aide kit.
Also make sure that you have salt for the cape in a gatoraid bottle. You might be able to get TTC which if you flesh the goat right will be a big weight saver. Again you are paying your assistant to pack so they can carry that.
Buck is making a super good SV30 caping knife combo this year. You might also want to take a havalon paranta with replaceable blades. Outdoor Edge folding saw for cutting off the skullplate.
Make sure that you have a good functioning stove. Simple is better. The guide is supposed to provide it but its best to make sure that for the little money of buying MH or food of your choice that you will not have digestive difficulties.
Many times you can arrange with your guide a menu so that you are sure that you have enough food in case you are weathered in a couple of extra days.
Water purification in the mountains still is necessary. Stupid beavers and parka squirrels poop all over up above tree line. You can go with tablets but a Sawyer mini squeeze filter is g2g.
Your dentist can prescribe you antibiotics and painkillers that are useful if you seriously get hurt.
Ask your guide if you should bring crampons and an iceaxe. Trekking poles can work like an ice axe but the lichens up above treeline sometimes are slicker than snot when it rains. Instep crampons are pretty light in weight. They don't cost much either.
Sincerely,
Thomas
