Hi nobohiker,
It's always exciting to plan on a real suffer-fest, (kiddin). I'm sure you've gathered reams of info, but I usually carry close to a gallon to the tram, (yes, in cooler wx less is doable, but I drink a lot and don't like seeing my performance suffer without adequate fluids). Part of that being electrolytes to avoid cramping. Pace, pace is what works best for me, using as little energy as possible, and not taking some of the steeper short-cuts.
Not sure if they still have lockers at the top, (mt. station), but if your continuing to the summit, you could store clothing & food in there, if you don't mind the grind up the walkway.
Post some pics if possible, have a great climb. ss
