I have a Sierra Designs Hercules AST II that I bought for a winter ascent of Muztag Ata, but the trip never took place. The tent has never been used or opened and still has the original pricetag.
I bought it because it was the strongest rated tent available for mountaineering.
From OMC Gear:
The Sierra Designs Hercules AST is a 2-person 4-season expedition tent meant to withstand the adverse weather conditions of high winds and heavy snow. In tests, the Hercules AST tent has remained structurally inact in winds over 100 mps (that's 224 miles per hour!).

I'd also be willing to trade for other mountaineering gear.
