Bolivia advice


Recommended Posts

So after not making the trip I wanted to last year because of life stuff, I planning for a couple month break this year. I've climbed in SA but at lower elevations, may get to 20k this trip. Advice on how cold to plan for in June/July has been variable. Chime in with your experience on:

 

sleeping bag needed for minus 10 deg?

 

down jacket type/brand - have a FF hooded helios, good NW jacket but seems too light for 20k?

 

have Scarpa invernos, new model, seems warm enough. Not planning on overboots.

 

Don't own mitten shells but will likely spring for some.

 

been scanning websites and 2nd ascent for used gear, need funds for pisco.
