i think that there are many ways to protect a down bag, and with the lightness, warmth and convenience why wouldn't you go down? i have been winter camping and in the mountains with my down bag, and it has been of no trouble to me. A light bibler bivy perhaps? Down is more versatile and a helluva a lot lighter. lighten the load, and your mind and go down.

I would like to begin toning up my muscles and eating right to slim down....pairing that with the right exercise. current: 19 yr old female 5'9"-150 run 2-4 mi. every other day boulder in climbing gym 5 days a week eats....whatever!?? does anyone have any suggestions? i'd really like to improve my strength to take my climbing to the next level. climbing only 5.8 5.9 right now... comments appreciated!! -moons
