Spider, that ain't no bivy. That's called livin' large.
This is a bivy; almost a killer bivy...

What "night"?

Some of the most beautiful things I've seen were during that purple haze of twilight after midnight in the AK range.

Once we bivied on a rib during a descent from a peak. We were exhausted and couldn't go any further. That night we were awakened by rockfall above us that happened over an over. We couldn't see the rocks - but we could see all of the sparks.
Freaky.

Some bivies are killer. Others are Killers.
Most float somewhere between.

Some more cold bivouacs on Denali during an attempt to establlish a new variation to Reality Ridge. We had 4 bivies in a row before we found a place large enough for a tent.
And then a really fun, planned bivouac the North Cascades...

What the hay is that? A haulbag for the feet and butt, and a rucksack or sleeping bag cover with some slings wrapped around it for the shoulders? Imagine the dangling head while sleeping! Maybe just curled up down in the haulbag?
