Add the stirrups if You haven't already. Much safer than bending over to hook the strap around Your heels.

My brother has this stand and loves it after adding the stirrups.  does not have very much foot room.  Is Summit still carrying this stand?

I have used one for 4 years and this year (In Zero degree weather) I got up to shoot and SQUEEK, party over. Nice stand, replace the cables every two years and lubricate it prior to cold weather.

I bought one this year and it worked quite well for me. It's definately one of the lightest climbers available, but as a longtime loc on stand user, took a bit to get used to.

Add stirrups there great. I put some on another brand of stand and made huge difference to me.

I would like to try one some day because of the light weight. I have an older Summit Cobra made before they went to all aluminum stands. It's really a nice, sturdy stand but it's kinda heavy. I added the stirrups and I'm glad I did. I would also like to change my seat to a "net" seat like my buddy did to his Summit. It makes them a lot easier to climb with.
