From REI:
"Up to 30% Savings during the REI Fall Sale! Plus members save 20% on one full price item. REI® Mountain 2 delivers a strong, weatherproof shelter for use in high-mountain environments where strength and livability are top priority. Efficient, livable design gives generous usable space, featuring a semi-rectangular floor plan. Hub-pole construction adds structural integrity and makes setup easy. You'll have quick, convenient and sheltered access through two doors and one large vestibule. Two weatherproof AirLift vents increase tent's strength in high winds and prevent condensation by allowing airflow; can be controlled from inside tent. Insider Floor seams are engineered to create a clean, taut pitch; factory seam-taping ensures a waterproof seal. Leak-proof rainfly construction ensures that water won't sneak through susceptible areas such as guyout points and zippers. Innovative snowflaps keep wind and snow out of vestibule while providing an extended floor. Welded TPU zipper flaps ensure smooth zipper operation with no annoying fabric snags. Stay organized with multiple interior storage options thanks to four mesh side pockets and hang loops located throughout. Strong, reliable DAC aluminum poles; REI-exclusive Strong Arm clips at each pole intersection strengthen pole structure and allow swift setup. Watertight welded vestibule window brings light inside and lets you view conditions outside. Color-coded rainfly corners allow easy orientation of rainfly on tent for easy setup. Attention to detail shows in the reflective guyout points and zipper pulls. Comes with guylines and tighteners, stakes, pole and stake bags, and tapered, easy-to-use compression stuff sack. Save weight and create a minimalist shelter by using just the rainfly, poles and footprint (sold separately). Average minimum weight specification is based on tent, rainfly and poles only."

"I just was on Orizaba where we encountered a sleet storm with 40 mph+ gusts. The wind blew directly at the side of tent. Even though the top vent was closed and the tent guyed down, the sleet somehow got in between the layers, iced up the inside and caused much wetness where my friend's sleeping bag contacted the icy inner wall."

"As the other reviewers have mentioned, this tent is built bombproof for mountaineering, but would make a very heavy backpacking tent. One of my favorite features is the oversized, vented vestibule; I've used it for cooking in bad weather on multiple occasions (just make sure the moisture is not getting into the tent or you'll have a wet night) an loved it."

"I used this tent on Rainier and it worked wonderfully. I do a lot of mountaineering, and this is the tent I use. It has one large front vestibule, whereas many climbing tents have two, but I have found the one to be perfectly adequate, and it also saves weight to have just the one. Too heavy for backpacking, but perfect for mountaineering."

"Most of my camping is done in hazardous areas with high winds and lots of mosture. The tent does very well in the wind and keeps me dry fine. It's prity big for backpacking but split between two people it's not bad. Setup can take a bit of time compared to tents with less poles but is nice when the extra poles are nice in the wind."
