I was thinking about trying to climb Mt. McKinley next summer and if not, at least do some back country camping up in Denali. Is this too much? Should I shoot for a -15 or -20 bag instead?

I used a Feathered Friends -40 bag at Denali basecamp for a 12-day mountaineering course. We never slept above 7300'--and the -40 bag wasn't too much; it was perfect. I was even cold one -35 night, though it was more due to my sleep mat that had a slow leak that deflated over the course of the night. (Thank God for my Z-rest backup pad underneath!!!) Anyways, -25 (or similar) is generally the most common temp rating sought out for Denali. You would be fine with this bag, though. Just be careful not to sweat in it so you don't damage the down. Unzipping the bag or keeping your head uncovered (and without a hat) is a great way to use this warm a bag in temps above -40.
