Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry.com:
"Set up The North Face 2-Meter Dome Tent at your 16,500-foot base camp near Nangpa La in the Himalayan Mountains. This tall 8-person 4-season geodesic tent pitches quickly and gives you 125 square feet of floor space on which to lay your sleeping bags. The North Face gave this durable, waterproof tent a heavy-duty floor to withstand days and weeks of continuous use. Super strong, lightweight poles slide through sleeves and crisscross this tent-the pole configuration provides steep walls so you get maximum space. The sleeves distribute pressure from wind and snow accumulation better than a clip design does, so you don't wind up with broken poles in the middle of nowhere or sagging tent walls because of uneven snow accumulation. Dual doors allow for cross-ventilation, and a chimney vent allows for safe cooking."

From The North Face:
"If you are planning on spending long periods of time in the mountains, this is the dream base camp tent.

It was so cozy I almost didn t want to leave. - Cedar Wright, The North Face Athlete, Rock Climber<br><P>The ultimate eight-person expedition base camp tent, the 2-Meter Dome is extremely durable and efficient in merciless environs such as the Himalayas and Antarctica. Setting the standard for unrivaled performance in major expeditions, this is the tent top mountaineers trust in critical conditions."

2 Meter Dome
Reviewed by Jim Thomsen, Sep 15, 2004

"A tent that you'd only need for extended basecamp life. The fabric of both the tent body and fly are a lot more heavy-duty than what you find in regular tents--the floor was like backpack-grade cordura if I remember correctly.

The poles are also quite thick, much more than a standard tentpole."
