However, for one member, the first night at base camp presented a different set of worries. A set of tricky sleeping bags, requiring great dexterous agility to zip up, were issued to everyone. For the above mentioned member, the problem occurred after he managed to zip up and snuggled into the bag, without realising that the more difficult part was getting out.
After struggling with the bag for half an hour — while other members clicked away at their cameras for amusement — he finally managed to extricate himself. His primary fear now is the next 14 days on the glacier where his only companion at night will be this ‘down feather’ sleeping bag.
