highly recommended for any adventure...it is super light but also will take a beating without tearing to shreds...named after the iconic peak in the Indian Himalaya called Mt. Meru, the center of the universe in hindu cosmology (i attempted it with conrad anker and jimmy chin in 2008....f***ing epic!!!!)

There's no way you "attempted" Mt. Meru. First of all, it's not real. Secondly, Mt. Kailash, which is believed to be Mt. Meru is off-limits. You can't climb it's summit. The most you can do is circumambulate the mountain.
