I'm planning a 7-8 day solo hike this summer into the Wind Rivers. The route I want to hike is a loop that takes me well above timberline and stays there for a few nights.

I've got an HH ULB with JRB quilt set, and am experimenting with a Wal-Mart pad for extra warmth should I need it.

I'm a bit concerned hanging without trees. I've read the thread concerning using climbing nuts on one or both ends.

Please, someone with some experience hanging above the tree line tell me I'm going to be alright. I can't bear the thought of going to ground
