Sleeping pads

[Russ Irwin]

This question is to those who have already made the pilgrimage. Have you needed a "sleeping pad" at
all during the trek? I'll be going from May - June, but I've heard that sometimes the only sleeping
space in a refugio is on the floor.

I ask this especially since I will be taking an extremely light sleeping bag. It's a Western
Mountainering "Mity-Lite" and weighs in at only 1lb 11oz. It's not a mummy bag, but semi retangluar.
I tried one out in a store near here and it gives me all the tossing and turning room I think I'll
need. Also, just in case anyone else is interested in "light" sleeping bags, there is a website
where you can compare them at:
