Question: I found a site that sells sleeping bag suits but they dont appear to be waterproof and I need it to be waterproof so I dont have to take a tent and sleeping bag. Does anyone own one? if so which company sells it? thanks

Answer: MOST sleeping bags are water-resistant. NONE are waterproof.
People sweat. In a waterproof bag, you would wake up in a puddle.
Carry a lightweight tarp to put over and under you bag. Air circulation is NEEDED to carry away the moisture your body generates while

Conquering the cold and beautiful Ama Dablam

18.05.12

The mountain he scaled is as exquisite as it is challenging. Like many others before him, Mihin’s first sight of it came when he was on his way to Everest basecamp. Dominating the horizon for days, its name was pure poetry: Ama for the long tapering ‘arms’ and sturdy ‘torso’, so like that of a mother’s embrace and Dablam for the resemblance of its hanging glacier to the traditional double-pendant worn by Sherpa women.

It stands alone in Solu Khumbu valley, towering over the famous Sherpa villages of Thyangboche and Pangboche. At 6, 812m, Ama Dablam is not as tall as Everest or K2, but its cold, high oxygen starved slopes have claimed their fair share of mountaineers. Others, intimidated by the threat of frostbite or hostile weather, have turned their backs on the summit.

More crucially, it is an expedition peak and not to be taken lightly – it’s revealing that summit records are only kept for the latter. “I chose to climb Ama Dablam because it is a beautiful mountain…and also because it is generally regarded as a highly technical Himalayan test piece, and one of the finest climbs of its type in the world,” notes Mihin, explaining that there is no ‘easy’ route to the summit. It takes a dedicated, experienced alpinist capable of alternating between high altitude trekking and scaling sheer precipices of snow, rock and ice. Sections that would present a modest challenge at sea level are altogether different beasts at 6,000m and above when the cold air sears your lungs and the weight of your equipment seems to double.
