Sleeping Bag & Stuff Sack We recommend a bag rated to 0°. Both down and synthetic work well.

eVent Compression Stuff Sack

Carrying Your Sleeping Bag Your sleeping bag will be stuffed in a compression stuff sack. A slightly larger stuff sack allows you to easily stuff your sleeping bag and perhaps also add your down jacket or extra layers, buying you a little more space in your pack. You can line your stuff sack with a garbage bag to waterproof it.

Sleeping Pad Inflatable pads tend to be more comfortable, but they can be punctured. A full length pad insulates you from the ground far better than a 3/4 length.

Sleeping en Route RMI uses high quality, four-season mountaineering tents, and potentially two camps - a low camp at treeline is occasionally used and we have an option to use tents, a hut, or even snow caves at Camp Muir.
