From Backcountry.com:
"The Mountain Hardwear Spire 2 is an ultralight 2-person 4-season double-wall tent for alpine climbers and mountaineers who like to move light and fast in the high mountains. The Spire's double doors are each protected by a vestibule to allow you and your partner to enter the tent without getting snow inside. The double vestibules are also excellent for cooking in a storm and storing gear. At 4lb 9oz, this Mountain Hardware tent weighs far less than most 4-season double-wall tents while remaining strong enough to withstand horrendous winter storms. Light enough for an alpine style assault and burly enough for a fixed camp, the Spire is an incredibly versatile mountaineering tent."

Reviewed by sjclark76, May 23, 2007

"This tent was purchased as a high strength mountaineering tent with the intention of taking it on an expedition to the Andes later this year. In order to try the tent out we took it up into our local hills (we live in NZ) and pitched the tent at about 1200 meters."
