quote: Uh - I don't mean to be rude, but I'm going to be, you don't have much experience with sleep deprivation anywhere do you? Get some experience first. Carlyboy,Who the hell are you copping such an attitude and how many hours sleep did you need to discern what the hell my experiences are? In fact, I've spent 24+ hrs out on climbs a few times. I haven't found the lack of sleep as debilitating as you apparently have - but then you seem to be playing with less than a full deck to begin with. Dru,Pushing on alpine climbing mostly snow and ice. Also on alpine rock - nothing super hard and not on big walls. Mr. Ali

What experiences do you all have with 20, 30, 40 hour pushes? I am interested in leaving sleeping gear behind and staying on the move. What advice would you have to make the experience more fun that it sounds? Food? Gear? Emergency gear?
