MSR Access 2 or Tarptent Scarp 1
If you had the choice of these two, is there any reason why you'd ever pick the Access 2 over waiting for an opportunity to buy a Tarptent Scarp 1?
Does the Access have any advantages over the Scarp 1?
It's for solo alpine level trekking above Arctic circle (not snow season), over perhaps a month or 2. A second trip for me. But, also for UK in preparation and afterwards.
Thanks.
P.S. Currently have MacPac Minaret (excellent but bit heavy last time there). And Lunar Solo and Telemark, 2-entrance, 2.2, both of which I'm a bit worried won't cope with rough conditions at a decent altitude. Perhaps I'm wrong.
Tested LS in mountains in West Wales this week and it was okay, but didn't feel right on sloping pitches and was pretty cold in winds because of so much mesh. I was in a gale mind you and temp was 1'C . . nighttime. Otherwise, used both lighter shelters in UK and will do in central France, etc., when we can.
Apologies for long post. :/
