over all a good design with plenty of room for gear and tired climbers. wish it was a little more user friendly to set up. first time took over 2 hours good thing it was 2 pm in my back yard . i have had it more than a year now and its held up well. its heavy but once its up you could probably lay ontop of it. keep heat and moisture in very well definatly bring a candle lantern or leave the vents open to prevent a rain sjower in the morning...gross. good tent i would reccomend to others. mec has a rip off design if you need spare poles. there tent doesnt have all the re enforcement that the SD one does but its $100 cheeper.
