Ideal bag for winter climbing in the Cascades?
I recently moved to Portland, and I'm looking forward to doing some winter mountaineering in the Cascades. Hood, Adams, maybe North Cascades too. I've been eyeing the Nemo Sonic 0 degree bag, but am tempted to get a used Western Mountaineering or Feathered Friends bag instead. I have a line on a lightly used WM Lynx -10 goretex shell bag for $375, which seems like a good deal. That should be enough for winter climbing in the PNW anything except maybe Rainier, right? Is the Nemo Sonic baffle opening thing really a game-changer, or more of a gimmick?
