Hee Richard!
Depends on the area where you are going, but around the 5000m it can drop to -25 C and in some area's (Ladakh ~6000m elevation) the temperatures are even lower.
This comes very close to the 'extreme' rating of the Helium GT 600, which results in a survival situation. Even though you technically could use this sleeping bag for your intended use, I personally would not. I would rather go for a sleeping bag such as the Y BY NORDISK - Arctic 1400 for example, where you have a bit of a temperature buffer in case you need it.
Keep in mind that it is also highly depended on your sleeping conditions (outside or inside) and the clothing that you wear during the night.
