I've been running around in the hills for 25+ years, but this is very first three-season tent I have owned. In the past I've always either had a full on mountaineering tent or a lightweight tarp and while I still have both, I've come to recognize my need for something in between.
NZAC is now also moving to a booking system for alpine huts, starting with French Ridge and Colin Todd, and moving onto Centennial and Pioneer in due course.
