I need a tent.

Requirements.

Light and small pack size
Easy and quick to pitch
1 person
4 season - stand up to proper wind
Pitchable on rocky ground - ie not perfect grass

I have a terra nova laser comp, but its fiddly to pitch and not great on non perfect ground as a result.

Obviously I'll have to pay for that, but what should I look at?

Zpacks Altaplex.

Cuben Fiber, 480g total.
Palatial for one person and lots of kit. Had it in 60mph wind at 7000ft no problem. Proper bathtub floor and bug net so no issues with rain or mozzies.
Single pole pitch, I use a compact carbon pole that weighs 80g.
Willing to sell you mine as I am now sewing shelters for my own use. Had about 70 nights in it.

(pitch is loose as I was taking the pegs out at the time of snapping this pic)

Just had a look at a review. Seem to be what I after.
Let me know what you want cash wise.

I need to pay back some credit card but perhaps in a few weeks can talk. I presume you're not rushed to sell
