From Oregon Mountain Community:
"Pitching a tent in wind-scoured conditions at a 5200-meter base camp isn't as easy as it sounds. It's especially difficult when you're hovering over a steep ridge in whiteout conditions. The North Face Mountain 25 is designed to excel in such merciless environs, and incorporates reinforced construction and multidirectional lift technology to ensure safety, warmth and protection. With space to sleep two, this versatile lodge is the smallest of the Summit Series™ expedition tents.The North Face Mountain 25 Specs: Capacity (persons): 2 Weight: 7lb. 12 oz.

From Backcountry.com:
"Engineered to withstand the extreme wind and snow loading on high-altitude adventures, The North Face Mountain 25 two-person tent keeps you warm and dry as you hunker down for the night. The North Face's lift technology uses an upper level vent which enables the four-season Mountain 25 Tent to lift slightly as the wind blows. That way, you can sleep soundly without feeling like you're being blown sideways off the mountain. While you're sealed inside, the Mountain 25 allows you to peek out and check the weather through a durable polyurethane window. And should you come stumbling into camp in the dark, The North Face thoughtfully included reflective guyline loops, guylines, and glow-in-the-dark zipper pulls for setup ease under a new moon."
From Altrec Outdoors:
"It might not have the room for three offered by the VE 25, but the rugged Mountain 25 Tent from The North Face offers the same highly wind resistant performance while shaving a couple of pounds off your overall pack weight. With a trail weight of seven pounds, 12 ounces, the Mountain 25 tent is the lightest four-season expedition tent made by The North Face. A brow pole up top creates a lift venting profile that offers excellent cross flow while minimizing humidity. Like many of the best designed mountaineering tents, the Mountain 25 has an integrated polyurethane view window that's cold tested to -60F so you can check on the weather without compromising any of the warmth inside the tent. The guy-out points are numerous enough to weather big blows and the No-Stretch Kevlar guylines with camming adjustments are ideal for pitching in open spaces. The Mountain 25 comes with internal storage pockets for gear, but if you really want to organize (and possibly dry out) your mountaineering and backpacking gear, get the fully-compatible #2 Gear Loft from The North Face. If you're going minimalist, don't forget to buy the Mountain 25 Footprint so you can add a floor to your poles and fly configuration."

It's too heavy though. 4 pounds could easily be saved if North Face would redesign the tent slightly. I would like to suggest:

The Mountain 25 is very solid, surviving many trips, some in very cold temperatures. It handles very well from 50 F to -30 F. It has shed heavy rain without leak and withstood heavy snow in Thompson Pass, Valdez, AK."
