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.
Bottom Line: Travel light and camp comfortably with the Mountain Hardwear Spire 2 tent.

The answer is (edited) too sad he died so early at the top
Hope I’m the first entry. Thanks
Hi Tab – that’s the right answer, however it is only the second of five clues. They start with identifying a continent (clue #1), then a country (clue 2), then a region (clue #3) then a mountain range (clue 4) and then a specific peak (clue 5). Check back next week on Tuesday at 10:00 for the next clue and congratulations on getting this one right.
tamara was a great skier in her day.
Thanks Andrew for editing that out I felt like an idiot after reading everything again (rules)so appreciate you not letting me ruin it for everyone! I’m horrible about rules…and to think they let me play with bombs for a living!!
