The trail brought us to Moir Camp, where there was an old abandoned hut. The temperature continued to drop and we were glad to have our -30degF rated mummy bags. We learned from Wilbert that the less you wear inside these high altitude sleeping bags the warmer you are. It worked. I was much warmer wearing just the thin thermal underwear than I had been the night before wearing polartec tops and bottoms.
I had gotten into a routine. Arrive in camp, have a snack, write in the journal and listen to music, have dinner, play cards, go to bed. I hadn’t slept well the first two nights.
