Whymper tent
A Whymper tent is a ridge tent of A-frame construction used for mountaineering which was designed by Edward Whymper (1840–1911) and named after him. Whymper was an English mountaineer, best known for the first ascent of the Matterhorn. Tents using his general design were in common use from the later part of the nineteenth century to the mid-twentieth century and were referred to generically as "Whymper tents". A later smaller variant of the design was called the Meade tent.
==Background==
In the mid-19th century there were no tents available suitable for mountain climbing. The only tents manufactured were large ones for military use and so mountaineers needed to design and built their own. It was in this context that Whymper designed in 1862–65 and publicised his tent although he did not attempt any commercial exploitation.
Whymper pioneered expedition-style mountaineering and his design was larger and much heavier than the Mummery tent designed some 25 years later by Fred Mummery (1855 – 1895) who favoured lightweight climbing.〔
