Hammock and rainfly.
Only way to go

As long as you're below the timberline  ;)
It would certainly be awkward with no trees and all.


I have a BA Fly Creek UL1 I'd sell or trade for a 2 person tent of equal value if anyone is interested.

Boulders work great for anchor points.  Small alpine trees are a little questionable though.

I'll tell you what, I'm only 5' 8" but a one man tent is like being in a dog kennel. And I wouldn't split a two man with anybody I wouldn't share a bed with  :yike:

You guys aren't doing anything to promote the sale of my tent.

I'll add my amateurish setup.
Coleman tube tent.
8 bucks. Will last a few trips. Cover and ground cloth all in one. Indescribably light.
It's not a tent but works as good as most tarp set ups.
I grew up under 6 mil poly. A little bug net over the face for mosquitos and I'm good.
