I haven't been up there in a number of years, so hopefully this information is still accurate: A 20-30 degree bag has been fine. I would still recommend a bivy sack. Afternoon thunderstorms are very common. Approach depends on which bivy site permits you get (Chasm lake vs Broadway). It is also possible to camp in the boulderfield near Chasm View. I think you can get bivy permits for Chasm View as well. This is a longer approach, but you can rap directly down to Broadway and from the summit it is quick to get back to camp. I thought this was a good option if you have any doubts about your speed or if you plan to stay a few days and climb a few routes.
