Agree with everything really. Merino wool base is a, dare I say, game changer? If you’re using cotton. Dress light for the walk. Dress at the base of the tree before you climb.
One thing I’ll add is I wear alpaca wool socks which are proving to be worth it.
What alpaca socks did you go with? That does look like an interesting option.
