I went hiking 4 times this spring (day-trips, so no weight issue) between 1000-2300 m altitude. I've used most of the time the 14mm but depending on the scenery, the 23mm works very well, too.

I've also tried the 35mm but found it too long for the purpose. It stayed in the bag mostly.

I made exactly the same experience a few tears ago when visiting the Isle of Skye - I had the 35mm but hardly ever used it. 14 and 23 mm were just fine.
