Unless you're going to live above the treeline for an extended period or hiking during the shoulder seasons, carrying a "bomb-proof" tent is overkill, IMO. Even up high I've never had a problem finding a sheltered site. Rocky ground isn't a problem either, just use rocks, trekking poles or a combination thereof.

That said, my Tarptent Cloudburst (2-person) withstood a night of 40 mph winds (conservative guess) and horizontal rain in the Wind River Range, above the tree line. My gear and I stayed perfectly dry all night---no condensation either.
I also have a Tarptent 1-person Contrail which hasn't been tested in real nasty weather yet, but I suspect would perform better than the Cloudburst. More than enough room for me and my gear and only 23 ounces
The Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo is another sweet tent and would probably be perfect for you, Farmgirl.

So many mountains, so little time.
