The Chouinard Pyramid is one of the first nylon pyramid shelters, and was 
the cutting edge ultralight in the 1980s. Here's a photo of mine along the 
PCT up Grider Creek last spring.

Yvon Chouinard quit making adventure gear for us, 'cept Patagonia clothing, 
due to a frivolous lawsuit brought on  due to improper use of his climbing 
equipment.   Our great loss due to a rookie mistake. Yvon turns 70 this 
year!
