Bivy bags |

The BD (formerly Bibler?) bivy bags are awesome. About USD$225 I think from memory. The best investment for wall climbing. We have used ours big wall climbing (about 30 days total?) and since then for random camping and they have held up really well - no holes, no leaks.
Favourite night on the Salathe was at Heart Ledges. Massive tropical style down pour. Water running down the rock. Turns out Heart Ledges slope into the wall, so we ended up in a little lake. Was like being in a water bed, as the bits of the bag that weren't weighted down were floating. We could peer out and watch others having epics above - head torches swinging in the dark stormy weather, yells and at one stage something went whistling and flapping by - I will never forget that sound of impending doom. In the morning there was a mass exodus off the wall as people went down to dry out sleeping bags etc. We grinned and headed up with the wall to ourselves!
They have a rated loop that is seam sealed - you clip the outside to the anchor and the inside one to you.
Never liked sleeping in a harness, so just took one inch webbing and tied that around my waist at night.
Anyway... get one.
