Take this for what it’s worth as I’ve never used a climber.
I purchase the LWCG public land stand and double step sticks. Can’t be over 13# including the straps and seat cushion.
Set up is a breeze, stacks perfectly and is real quiet. I put stealth strips on all the metal to metal contact points, and shrink tubing on the bolt standoffs (didn’t cover the part that sticks to the tree of course).
It’s the lightest full setup out there, and plenty of comfortable enough for me, great hang n hunt setup
