I used them in Dec 05. Absolutely wonderful food. It was more like a culinary tour with some walking than an expedition.

The main guide Mickey was excellent, although we clashed once when I wanted to go to Camp Berlin but he though it better we have another rest day. In defense of Mickey, he was thinking of the group and I was being selfish. The tents we used were TNF VE-25's from memory. I am not sure what other equipment you are referring to.

One thing that could be an issue is re-attempting summit-day. I had the distinct impression that it is a 1 shot deal.

Overall I was very happy, mainly because I was so well-fed and Mickey was a genuine nice guy who also wasn't afraid to deal sternly with snotty clients like myself.
