Tent Camp

Alpine-style ascents require your gear to be as versatile as your skills. Enter the two-person Tenshi tent from NEMO Equipment, an ideal base-camp and higher tent that offers everything you need for a trip up the mountain. The tent starts with a cavernous vestibule that offers 10 square feet of shelter for your gear, along with a condensation curtain that isolates respiration in a small portion of the tent to prevent frost buildup. The beefed-up guy points, reinforced pole pockets, and DAC Featherlite poles, meanwhile, make the Tenshi all but indestructible. Perhaps the most valuable feature from a climbers point of view, however, is the lightweight design, which weighs a mere 4 pounds and fits on the smallest of ledges.
