When I first got my cliff cabana with the Exp. fly, I did not liket he fly cause it is hard to set up the ledge inside the fly.
I almost sold the Exp. fly, wanting the regular fly.

Then I got cought in a freezing storm on the freeblast on el cap and found out what it can be like up there, and how fast it all goes down!!

I will never get rid of the Exp. fly, I can just crawl inside of it with the ledge already set up. Or just take the fly with no ledge.

ALL bivy sacks and fly's should be seam sealed!! I might even re-seal my fly as I will make an FA attempt on Mt. Hooker this winter.


Did Dave or any of the other climbers have a stove??

dave had a stove .. we talked about about it right before he started up tempest ..

I'd think that dave was well equipped since he was going up ready to spend over 15 days on the wall, and therefore had to be prepared for anything.
