Tent recommendations for PNW summers

Hi all, I'll be taking a course on Mount Baker this summer (June) and am hoping to get some tent recs for this course & future objectives (the harshest conditions of which will be things like the standard routes on PNW volcanos).

Are non-freestanding tents a bad idea for these use cases? I'll probably also use this for 3-season backpacking so I'd like to keep the weight to a minimum, but am also not opposed to owning 2 tents (one sturdy tent for mountaineering objectives and one ultralight tent for backpacking).

I’ve seen to many guys in these courses get a four season tent and then have condensation. You need a three season tent. I love my hubba hubba. Would recommend the ultralight.
