I always carry too much stuff. Just in case, I make sure that if I had to I could stay all night or at least till someone could find me. And having more stuff up there to make things comfortable is worth the suffering of dragging it up. No phone coverage there. Learned a long time ago to keep a pistol in a holster until you are ready to use it. Especially a single action. On the ledge before the top were several piles of deer pellets. Have shot several there before. Just the wind was stupid. I bet every deer in three counties in different directions knew I was up there.
