The Bivy will be the standard Bivy described at past Burstall Pass.

Notes:
If you sign up, please send me a list of alpine climbs that you have done and a lit that indicates your experience level. If there is a lot of interest, I will increase the numbers as long as there is someone who is keen to lead a second rope team. We will primarily be doing alpine short roping on this route and not just moving together roping together.
