I know that the old BD Lighthouse was built on the same footprint as the Ahwahnee. Does the current Ahwahnee vestibule fit the old BD Lighthouse? I have contacted BD direct, but they gave me a bit of dismissive answer and I don&#39;t fancy buying a new tent. Any help gratefully received. question_275812 Wed, 09 May 2012 03:46:00 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/black-diamond-mercury-65-backpack-3967-4087cu-in?CMP_ID=QRSS_275715#question_275715 Black Diamond Mercury 65 Backpack - 3967-4087cu in<br /><br />I am still trying to find a flaw with this pack, it seems perfect!!

For example, I bought a Petzl MYO XP and it won&#39;t tilt down low enough. I need a headlamp that tilts almost straight down. Suggestions? Thanks! question_275684 Tue, 08 May 2012 08:17:03 GMT http://www.backcountry.com/black-diamond-alpine-carbon-cork-trekking-pole?CMP_ID=QRSS_275586#question_275586 Black Diamond Alpine Carbon Cork Trekking Pole<br /><br />Can these poles handle the cold temps on Denali or would aluminum be better?
