    Mountain Hardware EV 2/3...is it good?

    in The Gear Critic

    Posted

    I dont think it is any better or worse than the I-tent.

     

    but heavier!

     

     

    A friend who works climbing retail had the following experience testing this tent:

     

    EV2 had much condensation inside, while a Bibler tent on the same trip/conditions did not

     

    Hear is the weight comparison:

     

    Eldorado (4 lb 8 oz)

    I-Tent (4 lb 5 oz)

    EV2 (4.87 lb)

    So yeah the EV2 is slightly heavier smile.gif , But the EV2 is larger due to the built in VESTE.

     

    Size comparison (floor space):

    Eldorado (30.2sq ft)

    I-Tent (27.2sq ft)

    EV2 (31sq ft)

     

    So the EV2 is the largest, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

     

    As far as the condensation, both will have condensation its just how life is... Bilber has cool fuzzy fabric on the inside to battle actually getting wet so that is nice, but the EV2 has a lot better vents for superior ventilation durring cooking and such. I have always just cooked inside the tent with no worries. I hope this helps...

    clint-

    my brother and I climbed that peak via the same route you did back in 2001. A good freind of ours (moose pass local) Charlie hooked us up with some cool climbs in that area. I think he has climbed damn near everything in that area including all of the Crown Point and surrounding area. A lot of that stuff he climbed in the early 80's

    Soaking in the hot springs on the way back was key!! It’s called the boiling river just inside the west entrance of Yellowstone Park.

    I think you have your coordinates mixed up. Cooke City is the NE entrance to Yellowstone, which in my opinion, is the best route in Yellowstone as it goes over Beartooth Pass and is the highest maintained road in the US at over 11,000'. It is also your best opportunity to see wolves and bears.

     

    The Boiling River is a subset of Mammoth Hotsprings and can be reached either through the NE entrance or the N entrance. Not from the West which is in a town called West Yellowstone and is really far south. It is also a good fall or early spring fishing spot as the "boiling River" flows into the Gardner River and there are huge cutts waiting for your fly....

     

    Ryland_Moore-

    We entered the park at the NW entrance and then drove to Cooke City which is just outside of the NE entrance of the park. That is the only way to get to Cooke City in the winter time since the other road is closed...

     

    John Frieh-

    I called Barrel mountain shop in Bozeman and they said the road closes in the fist week of April and opens in the Last week of May/Fist week in June. I am going to call my bro and have him check it out... I dont know why it closes...

    Climb: Hyalite, Pine Creek, Cooke City

     

    Date of Climb: 3/26/2006

     

    Trip Report:

    Went to Bozeman with my girl to climb ice, tele ski, and rock climb. My twin brother goes to school at MSU so we had the hookups and a good climbing partner. We climbed at Hyalite, Pine Creek (45 min away), and Cooke City (3hours away). All the ice was amazing, it was hard to get back to Hyalite canyon, but once we did we had all the ice to ourselves!!! The weather was great, freezing at night and 40-45 in the afternoon.

    Pine Creek was some amazing climbs, good mixed section and some great 40-60 meter WI3-4 climbs. We got to the base of a climb called green gully the fist day and thanks to my brother who heard a “load roaring sound” yelled at our climbing party (6 of us) to get out of the way as a very large avalanche flew past us 10 feet in font of us to the base of the climb. We all would have been buried if we were actually climbing, but since we just got to the climb all of us were just to the left of the climb and out of harms way. One guy did get all of his gear buried and it took some time to find it all again. After the avalanche stopped we wend down and climbed at the falls where there is some ice climbing and some good mixed routes. We did go back a few days later when avalanche danger was lower and climbed both green gully and blue gully.

    Cooke City was cold at night 8-10 degrees and 40ish in the afternoon, all good climbs and 30-35 min approach. We spent two days their and climbed as much as we could. Snow shoes were nice for the approach there is still 10’ feet of snow on the ground. Soaking in the hot springs on the way back was key!! It’s called the boiling river just inside the west entrance of Yellowstone Park.

    Hyalite canyon what can I say epic ice all to ourselves!!! Lots of climbs and every climb is huge right now!!! It is hard to get back their if you don’t have a snow machine or some crazy off road rigg!! It was worth all of the winching we had to do!!

    Tele skiing we went to Bridger Bowel and we tele skied in knee deep powder all day long!! First tracks on every run!! Nice and dry!! We also climbed some rock, I don’t recommend leading any crack climb in the “pass” right outside of Bozeman, and the rock is super crumbly. The sport routes are fun though!! That’s all for now, great ice in the Bozeman area!!!!

    Gear Notes:

    Snow shoes for Cooke City approches, avalanche gear, long ropes for Cooke (long leads) 60-70 meters are nice, lots of screws, and sunglasses.

     

    Approach Notes:

    all our approches were 20-45 min, nothing too crazy. Avalanche gear is nice to have in the spring time!!
