The 1921 British Mount Everest reconnaissance expedition used Mummery tents and Whymper tents (as well as and military tents) but for the 1922 Everest expedition a modification was tried using a smaller version with a flysheet, which was called a Meade tent, after the British climber, Charles Meade. In a few cases a circular entrance was adopted for each kind of tent but this was not popular with the climbers. The expedition also used Whymper tents in preference to the heavier ones of 1921.
