I purchased these before my first archery season as a way to stay mobil. I am extremely impressed with the value of these sticks. I can get up into my stand in under ten minutes. They are so easy and secure for the money. They are by no means the lightest, but they are not heavy either. I can understand the few complaints of the tie downs being short, but I have yet to miss out of a hunting spot because of them. There has always been a tree that will accommodate the tie downs.

Hi, I took these out to a buddy's house who has a Tree house it's a man cave in the form of a tree house its really cool. We took these steps and put on tree and it worked great. Didn't feel like you would fall off very very steady. I really like these and getting more to use for the deer stands.

These climbing sticks are so nice. They are easy to use and feel very sturdy. I dont have to worry about my safety with these. They are also pretty light so they are easy to pack into the woods.

I recently got these for my cousin who is way into climbing. Recommend!
