My trip to ooty



Few weeks back, I went to ooty to spend my summer vacation.Wow! it was such a wonderful experience.I made all the arrangements for the trip right from booking tickets to other accommodations.I was a memorable and a unique trip.Apart from sight seeing,I arranged for hiking and climbing.I was looking for sites from where I can purchase Climbing Gear.I searched the web for Outdoor Gear.I got a site called mountaingear.com which is a household name for mountain gears.You can find high quality mountain gears at a reasonable price.I purchased climbing gears such as Carabiners & Hardware,Rock Shoes,Harnesses,Helmets,Rope & Webbing etc.Mountaingear.com is very much a user friendly site since you can search by category,activity,brand and also by price range.This really helped me to find the mountain gears that suited my requirements.I also purchased five tents from a popular brand calledNorth Face.The tent was Ultralight.It provided extremely stable shelters. The single wall, freestanding design of the Spectrum 23 from The North Face sets up quickly, is stable in rough weather and incorporates high-low venting for excellent airflow.Setting up the tent was not a big problem.It costed me  around 900$.

Features:
  • The fully seam-sealed canopy and fully taped ultralight floor provide outstanding protection from the elements
  • It incorporates Fusion Pitch - a combination of continuous pole sleeves for the main structural poles which provide excellent support, while additional poles easily clip-on allowing air to circulate freely between the canopy and fly
  • The canopy is secured to the poles with MicroClips that are light and simple plus they have improved strength and holding power
  • Two aluminum Nano-knuckles on the top cross pole allows venting on top of the tent
  • High-low venting with perimeter and overhead vents with zip closure
  • It uses a DAC reverse-combi pole system that makes the walls steeper and top flatter to maximize usable space; a lightweight aluminum hub connects the poles, eliminating unnecessary pole sections to reduce weight
  • Freestanding design with pull-out vestibule
  • The features are rounded out with reflective guyline and zipper cording, ultralight 1 inch poles sleeves, D-shaped door, and color-coded poles and it includes a compression stuff sack
