Why not use tubulars for mountains anyway? Would be a lot lighter than tubeless. And why no discs for this? Dont you have atleast a couple of disc road bikes?

I have a couple of disc road bikes, I fancied making something different.
I'd normally just go tubular and not think about it, but had two flats in Gran Canaria last week.

I've been out to Norway 2011-2015 to ride Dalsnibba with Smallfurry, he melted a carbon clincher on the descent (stuck behind a camper), he's now on tubs - and is part of the reason that I've never used carbon clinchers with rim brakes.
However, I know that technology moves on, and I'm a) sold on tubeless and b) wanting to build a new bike with rim brakes, hence asking here.
If someone has used road-tubeless carbon clinchers with rim brakes, in the high mountains, and they weigh ~75-80kg then I'd very much like to hear it.
