hmm, some how I'm still sitting on my money for this my biggest concern is getting the middle A frame spikes through the fabric, would I be able to use two king poles with a ridge pole instead? it's the stretching of material on the palamos I can't do and worry I will have the same issue with the Alaska.

Took delivery of Alaska last week. Still waiting for the weather to break for the better before test pitch. Will let you know how easy `A` Frame is to do solo.
As regards to weight, yes it is heavy. I have taken the Inner out of the bag(3kgs) and weighed the tent and mine is just over 26kgs. A bit heavier than my Eldorado.
It's not so much the weight but the awkwardness of the bag (about 1mtr long). Could do with handles both sides for ease of lifting.
Hope the weekend stays dry for test pitch.
