Tents

A 4 season tent is more universal, but 3 season tents can be used if the rain fly goes all the way to the ground on all sides. A “bathtub” floor for the inner test is also recommended. This means that the inner tent has a water-resistant floor material that scoops up from the floor 4-12" before changing to mesh. If your tent does not have wind lines (aka guy lines), an additional 6-10ft of 3mm accessory cord is needed for rigging your rainfly in a mountain environment. 

Early Season: Double wall 4-season tent recommended.
Mid Season: 4-season or 3-season tent.
Late Season: 4-season tent recommended.
