Re: Coldest temperature you've ever camped in?

Ed asked "Bill, how cold does it get up on Denali?"

There is a book about the first successful winter ascent of Denali titled "Minus 148", by Art Davidson. Great book to read. The title refers to the lowest number on their wind chill chart. I don't remember the air temperature they used, but I think the wind speed was 100 or 120 knots (or maybe mph?). Lowest I saw on my Kestrel 4000 was -42 (don't remember whether it was F or C, but -40 is the same for both). Most of the time it was warmer than that when we were above 14,000, and on my summit day, it was actually above 0F - warm, sunny, calm, perfect bluebird day, as you can see in the photo at the top of my website.
