I mostly stayed in proper beds/rifugios, but I think I'd happily carry the extra camping weight again for the couple of bits of mountain top camping I did.
But would take a bivvy instead of a tent and ditch the camping stove which I barely used.Anyway, regardless of weight/equipment, just do it. As long as you've got low gears then no reason to rush the climbing.

That is precisely the mindset I am going back with this year. Bivvy instead of tent, cooking gear simplified to only 125g gas canister, MSR pocket rocket and 1 titanium mug every 2 people to boil some water for that bag of adventure food we will have, just in case we decide/have to stop somewhere without anything around.

I’d never ride it with shelter again. 3kg of extra shit to carry when I slept in beds every night (lots of reasons, mostly I wanted to). That route (for me) didn’t need it.
