Aside from huddling together into an immovable steel box, the Mountain Hardwear Stronghold Tent is about as secure from the weather as your climbing party can get at high-altitude, bad weather basecamps. This 10-person dome tent features a floorless, double-wall construction for sorting gear, cooking meals, plotting summit bids, or even sleeping the entire expedition party.

  • Dome shape and 15 poles hold up to strong wind gusts
  • Internal guy system and bar-tacked stress points increase strength during mountain tempests
  • Two doors with two-way zippers give the group multiple entry points
  • 5 SVX weather windows let in light and allow you to check conditions
  • 10 mesh storage pockets keep gear neatly organized
  • 1 large top vent and multiple mesh perimeter vents for efficient air flow
  • Included expedition duffel bag stores tent for easy transport
  • External 400D snow flaps keep storms from blowing into the tent

Bottom Line: An indestructible shelter for the basecamp day-to-day.

Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

If you mean... does this tent have a floor? Then the answer is no. Which is a good thing sometimes... especially for expeditions. Check out the Mountain Hardwear Satellite if you are looking for a BIG tent with a floor. Cheers!

The specs say "Interior Height: 9ft 11in (300cm)" however, in this photo you are taller than the tent. Are you a giant?

According to the Mountain Hardwear site, the tent is actually 89" (7 foot, 5 in). That puts the two a bit more in comparison. I think he's still a fairly tall person - plus the camera angle and his position makes him look a bit taller than he is.

This tent is the mutha f'in king man! The first time I used it was a trip to the desert for a land sailing event. While we were setting it up people told us tents come to the playa to die. 70 mph recorded winds and this thing barely moved. It already saved me 3 days hotel when another tent would have been shredded. Good thing it's rock solid because it's expensive as hell. When I was hiding in it avoid being sandblasted it seemed like one of the best investments I've ever made. Sell your kidney and get one, you'll never look back! I have some real world pics, here's one:
