Thank you all for your honest advice. I've decided that I'll bring the kilt, but have a good Plan B should the weather look less than ideal. Also, my day pack pack will include a set of hiking trousers regardless, should the need to change plans arise mid-ascent. I'm truly excited to go, and can't wait to stand at the top. I hear the view from the peak is wonderful - here's hoping the skies cooperate!
