Not gonna be as efficient as the XGK..but nothing is.
Question is wether it will work as well as a whisperlight... dunno until you've talked to someone who has used it above 17k and used a whisperlight.
I've used both whisperlights and XGKs at that altitude. Basic difference is ..boiling water is something you are willing to do at 17k with an xgk..melting water becomes just fine instead of boiling it when all you have is a whisperlight.
I assume you plan to be well acclimatized for you cassin push. Generally that mean extended time at 14-2 and excursions to 17-2 on the WB.
Enjoy what most who have done the research consider probably the 2nd largest mountain in the world. Logan being definately larger and kanchenjunga possibly depending how you define it.
The thing can be a bit aweinspiring especially the first time. But then people seem to get used to it QUICKLY BECOMEING COMPLACENT IN GOOD WEATHER.
Thats the extent of my preaching.. gluck have an exceptional trip.
