Climbing Mt Rainier

Pretty good story of this guy's climb up Mt Rainier. He says,

"At Camp Muir we slept side by side in a shack. We went to bed around 6 p.m. I was utterly exhausted when I climbed in my bag and, though quite uncomfortable lying on a thin pad that was laid on an uneven wood surface, I quickly fell asleep."

Believe me, there's no sleeping jammed into a hot, noisy, smelly hut with a bunch of anxious climbers. I think the sleepless, partial night in that hut, was the hardest part of the climb for me.
