What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I recommend this tent for serious alpine objectives where weight and weather protection both matter. The single-wall design keeps it extremely light while still offering reliable waterproof protection. The carbon-fiber poles and Dyneema floor feel incredibly strong for the weight, making it a great option for high-altitude pushes or technical alpine routes."We rely on the Summit AMK Assault 2 Tent when the route climbs high into harsh alpine terrain. Developed as part of The North Face Summit Series Advanced Mountain Kit, this ultralight shelter is engineered for elite mountaineers tackling demanding high-altitude objectives where reliability and weight savings can make the difference between success and retreat. The three-layer breathable waterproof canopy protects against brutal weather while allowing moisture to escape during cold, high-output climbs. Carbon-fiber Easton Syclone(TM) poles deliver exceptional strength with minimal weight, while the Dyneema(R) composite floor adds durability against sharp rock and snow platforms. External-to-internal pole sleeves allow the tent to be pitched without exposing the interior to blowing snow or rain-an essential feature when conditions turn severe. With minimal seams, self-equalizing guylines, and a waterproof anchor pass-through, the AMK Assault 2 is built for high winds and exposed camps. Modular internal pockets and hang loops keep essential gear organized inside the tent, while the Dyneema(R) compression stuff sack keeps the packed size minimal for fast alpine ascents.
