An alpine Bivy to remember
I recently used the the Rab Ascent 900 to Bivy out around 4000m the the alps it was a break in a recent storm and we decided to make a break for the weather window The ascent was long hard and when the sun dropped behind the mountains it got cold quick My gloves froze on my hands on the final climb as the temperature dropped to -7C However once we dug out the bivy spot got into the Rab Ascent 900 sleeping bag things started to warm up very quickly even with constant spin drift high winds which were not forecasted and the huge drop in temperature I managed to get around 3-4 hours sleep which in those conditions is a plus During the night even with the Bivy bag on both bags froze but quickly thawed out in the first light of the sun I would definitely recommend this bag to anyone and will definitely be buying another Rab sleeping bag in the coming future for bigger expeditions
