Not only are we obnoxiously stoked, but we plan on hanging out for a couple of weeks.

I was mildly disappointed that NutAgain did not post here the best bivy photo from his excellent Steck-Salathe TR. So I have shamelessly swiped it in order to plug that TR which is a good one.

And here's that photo, introduced by a great caption:
And le_bruce wasn't as stoked about it as I was. As you can see, he couldn't straighten out his body, and that made him a little cranky::

Climbing B&B's....basecamps and bivouacs, home away from home.
I guess these say something about us. What mine say I'm not exactly proud of. Definitely not basecamps, except for Table Mountain, but no tents, even there. Mostly grass. Some rock and heather.
However, these are some places I spent the night in pursuit of some climb or other.
Smith Rock
Blouberg
under Davis (North Cascades)
on Davis
Table Mountain
Can't say where 'cause it ain't strictly legal
Cutthroat
Magaliesberg (uncomfortably damp)
There is something to be said for tents.

The only climbing B&B is a high end guided trip to Everest where the Sherpas do everything.

Donini & all---Great photos that tell Gnarly stories.
Here's some of mine from the 70's.
In this new era, my bivies have improved.
It is important to remember one thing about those high and remote bivies.
