Depending on the size of the group, it might be worth having both small one or two man tents for individuals to sleep in, along with a big group tent that everyone can chill out in at the end of the day and during periods of bad weather. This is not something you want to skimp on as a broken tent could have dire consequences. Go for solid proven designs that won’t let you down. If you’re camped on snow or on a glacier, build a snow wall out of blocks to protect your camp from high winds. Expedition worthy tents are not cheap, especially the big group ones. Check out The North Face 2 Meter Dome and the Mountain Hardwear Stronghold. Where smaller tents are concerned, have a look at The North Face VE25, the Terra Nova Quasar or the Mountain Hardwear Trango range. If you’re budget allows check out Swedish brand Hilleberg. Their tents are super expensive but very well made.
