Its an awesome stand!! The nice thing about this stand is its an affordable, lightweight climber. You have to step up $150.00 to find anything silimar from another manufacturer. I wasn't willing to drop that kind of change. This stand is great for getting back in deep where the big boys roam. I personally use it for public land so I can hike in far and take it with me when I'm finished so it doesn't get stolen. Despite the size, this stand is really comfortable! I know it doesn't have the convenience of a climbing bar, but you have to accept that with 14 lbs. Also, the rapid climb stirrups are awesome! Its really nice to not have to bend over and fumble with pulling straps over your boots with gloves on, etc. All in all, this is the best stand in my arsenal.
