I'm planning on hiking Mt Whitney this year with my wife and one or two other guys. We'll be staying overnight at Trail Camp. My wife sleeps better with me in the tent so I won't be taking my tarptent moment. The only other tent I have is the tarptent hogback. We two certainly would have enough space in it. The other two have their own tent.

The six tie down strings would need to be wrapped around/under rocks but I'm not sure if that will hold up to the winds that we might encounter up there. Also, how is the space requirement of this tent compared to others? Will we have enough flat space to set it up?

Any comments on the usability of the hogback at the Trail Camp is appreciated. It would be nice not having to buy another tent.
