I owned and used a VE-25 for a couple of decades and on three trips up Mount McKinley. I also used it on several Alaska fly-in hunts and on a great float hunt. It is a bombproof mountaineering expedition tent. In the 1980s and '90s it was the tent of choice for extreme mountaineering expeditions. Mine got scorched so I bought the Eureka K2-XT to replace it. But it's heavy; 10# I think. When climbing Mount McKinley you carry your tent in a sled so the weight is not as important as when you are carrying it on your back.

Wind in my hair, Sun on my face, I gazed at the wide open spaces, And I was at home.
