Article Summary:

"However, being able to pitch your tarp properly under inclement conditions such as these is a skill that opens up new avenues of very light high mountain travel – including alpinism, ridge hiking, and alpine high routes. Above the treeline, you are immersed into a mountain range’s full glory – and sometimes, her wrath – en route to a richer experience with better-than-IMAX views, planetarium-quality stargazing, and an intimacy with the alpine realm that cannot be appreciated by spending the night in the arbor cathedrals of lower elevations."
