We used this stove on a Denali trip last May/June. Worked extremely well for our three person team. Very efficient at melting snow. The lighter was inconsistent at 17,000 feet and once the fuel nozzle had to cleaned out with an MSR stove cleaning wire. Otherwise, we had 14 days of brilliant snow melting. With the fuel inverted, we never had an issue with the fuel not working, even on chilly nights. On the evening before summit day, we had a bit of ice on the fuel bottle ... looked like good karma for summitting.

This is simply the finest bag I've ever slept in. Took it to Denali in late May. Was toasty every night. Nothing finer than slipping into this gem after the end of a long day. Foot box had enough room to keep my boot liners warm on summit day. Shell did a nice job keeping the morning frost on the outside of the bag. For the warmth, one of the lightest bags.
