Practically all of "Postcards from the Ledge", particularly Childs' 10 Point Dialectic of the Bivouac ("You can tell who the dominant climber is by who becomes the pillow", "If I had a sleeping bag inside this bivy sack I'd be dry and warm, if I had a bivy sack", "There's always a better ledge just above", "There's never a better ledge just above")
