North Face Oval Intention 1976

This is the first dome tent, based upon the Buckminster geodesic dome design formula. It is very heavy, over engineered, and the beginning of the freestanding tents that we have grown to love. Location is Lone Pine Campground, near Mt Whitney.

Canon PowerShot A70
1/160s f/2.8 at 5.4mm full exif
