We used this tent on Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams and it was fine. Well vented, easy to set up (practice at home first!), and plenty of room for two plus mountaineering equipments (big packs, climbing gear, plastic boots, winter bags, cook stove, etc.).
I know the tent was updated in 2005 so that the pole sleeves are easier to get the poles into. Also, the shockcord was changed to a cold-weather shock cord (won't lose its elasticity in cold temps), and it now uses a ripstop poly instead of nylon (nylon contracts in cold weather which makes it difficult to set up a tent).
I especially like that there's no fly to lose or blow away while trying to set up a tent in windy-wintry conditions.

Design: 4-season tent

Ease of Setup: ridiculous

Any other season but winter I am sure this tent would be great. Although when used during winter save yourself some frostbite and buy another tent. This tent in extreme weather conditions takes way to long to set up especially without removing gloves. The tent poles lose elasticity in extreme cold. Also feeding the poles through the tent MESH lined pole guides is ridiculous. In short it's next to impossible to set this tent up with gloves on. Which rules out using this tent during the winter.
