I'm heading to the Ritter Range area in mid September and I'm trying to decide which sleeping bag to take. I'm assuming we will camp between 9,000 and 10,000 feet.
Gear:
– Gossamer Gear One
– Capilene base layer (top and bottom)
– Hiking pants (Arcteryx Rampart)
– Rain jacket/pants (Arcteryx SL)
– Patagonia R1 hoody
– Patagonia Down Sweater
– Wool hat and socks
I'm trying whether to take my Marmot Hydrogen 30 degree or my Montbell SS 1 (15 degrees).
I used the Montbell on another trip to Mt Whitney about the same time of year and was plenty warm. I have use the Marmot and similar clothing into mid 20's in NC/VA without any trouble.
I've only been to the Sierra's a few times, so any feedback would be suggested. Maybe the best option is to take both bags out and just check the weather. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
