Has anyone used a trekking pole tent while hiking Mt Whitney? I plan to overnight at trail camp so I can have an early ascent up the switch back.

However, I am nervous because I hear trail camp is very rock and can be very windy. Has anyone used a trekking pole tent at trail camp?

What was your experience?

TIA!

Has anyone taken the Vargo BOT XL on trail? It’s 1100 ml.

Did you find it too large? Should I still with the 700ml option?

Chances are I’ll be wanting hot morning breakfast AND coffee to start the days off right. Was thinking it might be easier to heat up enough water for both at all at once
