What is your sleep system for big alpine climbs?
Planning my first trip to Patagonia this winter and I’m looking to upgrade my sleep system.
Currently have a Nemo tensor and a big Agnes grey stone. I love my big Agnes bag but it’s wayyyyy too bulky and I’m generally extremely warm in it, even after spending time in the Canadian Rockies winter and on Baker in January.
I’ve never upgraded my sleep system in the past 2 years and am looking to ball out on a sleeping bag. If anyone here has recommendations that’d be super appreciated. I’d really value packability and weight.

Near death on Half Dome’s Regular Northwest Face: in search of hikers who nearly killed us with rocks
On June 30th my friend and I climbed the regular northwest face of half dome. At about 6:30pm we were about 200 feet from the summit and noticed lots of rocks coming down from the top. At first we thought this was rockfall but we soon realized that these were intentionally being thrown. After yelling up to the people above they heard and acknowledged us with something unintelligible and continued to throw rocks. We had several watermelon sized rocks avoid our heads by just 2-3 feet when they tossed a block larger than my torso towards us. This rock missed us by only 2-3 feet as well. We called 911, who transferred us to a ranger, and since they had stopped throwing rocks by this point the ranger stated they would not be sending someone up the cables to investigate. If you hiked half dome on June 30th and have any possible leads please let us know.

Nose in a day!
Last month my partner and I climbed the nose in 18:13. It was both of our first times up on the nose past dolt. Best day of my life by far. 4th photo is of Chris Deuto and Erik Anderson on their way to complete the triple crown. They managed to pass us 17 hours into the triple crown, we felt like slow pokes watching them.
