I was at 5,300 feet in a nasty windstorm in the Kilmer-Slickrock wilderness and I was using a Hilleberg Nammatj tunnel tent but NOT with the pegs that came with the tent (and the ones they recommend). Instead I had the usual question-mark type stakes that come standard with Mt Hardwear tents, heavy duty aluminum.
The wind was enough to pull several stakes out on a regular basis and I had to place big rocks over each one to keep things squared away. Hilleberg includes what they call Pro Pegs with each tent they sell and I should of brought them(and I do now). They look like giant nails with a top to hammer into the ground and are very light and very strong but just a little bulkier than the MH pegs.
