No-one in our group had down suits, just down jackets. A few people had nominal frost nip in the toes using AT boots.
I used a -25 deg bag and my partner who feels the cold a -40 deg bag. Obviously can get quite warm traversing from camps 1 to 3. On the route we took, there was quite a lot of crevasses. On summit day, we only got back to Camp 3 with use of GPS as we encountered total white out conditions.

Be warned Mustagh Ata, is not the most exciting climb. Good experience and west china is interesting, but the climb is a slog.
