Yes, you read that title correctly. It's zPacks' long awaited take on a true pyramid shelter. It looks to still be in rough prototype form, but pretty exciting nonetheless.

Specs:

~10'x10' floorless pyramid

~.12oz/sqyd Cuben – state of the art from Cubic Tech, virtually transparent

~'Frame' is made of 8 zPacks CF staffs joined together – 2 staffs per edge – using new off white carbon fiber, less than 1/4 the weight of 'normal' CF.

~Total weight: 18.4 oz

~Price ??? est. $1500-$1800

Had you used a more realistic picture you would have had me searching for more info :)

This looks perfect for my backcountry solo dance parties.

I hope they consider adding lighting strips on the inside of the poles so thru-hikers can watch my silhouette. Maybe a sound system?

"This looks perfect for my backcountry solo dance parties."

It would need to be a single center pole support tarp to allow for pole dancing.

Plus, you would save the weight of the 4 additional corner struts. Although they would probably help with snow loading.

Finally an UL mid with snow valances.
I can clearly see the advantage .
Now, how do I get out of this thing ?
