Yeah, I'll go for a bivvy (if I get a place) rather than tent. If there were a few wolves sniffing around outside, I'd like to at least be able to see them.
I'd want to do more research on the nighttime temperatures to decide on exactly what kit. I toured in Tibet in August and it was quite mild at 4,000+ metres, over 10 degrees at least. There I over-specc'd my sleeping bag, had a 4-season one that was basically too warm to use properly. It rained every night in August there, which would be a bit of a bore if bivvying, but this is a long way further west so no reason why climate would be the same - just need to research it.
There's a poll on facebook which says most people are thinking bivvy wiht a few opting for tents. Tarps is another question which might be worth thinking about if a lot of rain.
