Bob,
I'm pretty sure you'll be good with a 20 degree or even a 25 degree
rating. Remember you can always wear your warm jacket in the bag.
I carried a 15 degree rated Mtn Hardware down bag with 800 fill. It was
plenty warm in the coldest weather I encountered and I started the trail
April 4 heading sobo from Walker Pass. Most of the time, it was too
warm for my "sleep" clothes, Smartwool lightweight long-sleeve top and
bottom. In fact, even on the coldest nights, I usually wound up
shedding the long underwear when my body got the bag warmed up as it was
too hot. I usually cowboy camped, so there was also often a breeze.
