bivvying in alpine/winter conditions is not done by choice, by anyone

I bivvied out in the Beast from the East in a -10-rated bag. It was fine. My face was extremely cold though.

Would I have been better off with a tent? probably

If the wind hadn't changed direction overnight, and I wasn't sharing a too-small tarp, it would have been fine I think. I've bought a balaclava, yet to try it in proper cold though
