[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5182401, member: 1409"] As "long as you are able" reminds me of many hunters stating "they no longer are able" to use a climber, yet seem to have no problem placing & using ladder stands. What is physically "hard" about using a Summit climbing stand? (Yes, it does take @ 5 to 10 minutes longer to climb to a comparable or greater height.) There is an "art" to learning to do it quietly, but I will argue it can be "easier" than the climbing of many ladder stands. I'd even say I can consistently climb up "quieter" with a climber than can be done in most metal ladder stands (they tend to have loud weight-shifting metallic "pops" on the be best cold mornings). I wear a full body harness while using a climber, so I'm "secure" at all times. How is this not safer than the typical use of ladder stands, particularly the erection of a ladder stand? If you want to see danger on steroids, take a look at any the ladder stands with the extremely narrow ladders (so narrow only one foot can be on a rung at a time). IMO, they are extremely (comparatively) dangerous, not just to climb/descend, but to place or remove. [/QUOTE]
