A portaledge
is a deployable hanging tent system designed for rock climbers who spend
multiple days and nights on a big wall climb. An assembled portaledge is a
fabric-covered platform surrounded by a metal frame that hangs from a single
point and has adjustable suspension straps. A separate cover, called a
stormfly, covers the entire system in the event of bad weather. Source
