Doesn't look like many climbers bivvy any more! Guess I'm not surprised in light of the threads about mansions in Nowra and motels/cabins in the northern Gramps.

>Whats been your most enjoyable bivvie and why ?

During the last couple of years of my active climbing career, I'd occassionally get anti-social and go and self-rope solo something just for the experience of a lone bivvie. Did this a couple of times on Rosea and once I recall on Mt Difficult. Just loved the solitude and the environment.

Communal "bivvies" in the shelter sheds at Arapiles and Buffalo, and in the caves in the Blue Mts were a totally different and equally enjoyable experience.

>make it a half enjoyable experience)?

A warm bag and a flask of good port. Both were lacking on Geryon!
