Packing in the stand is at least as quiet if not more quiet than a Summit is out of the box.

The stabilizer straps it comes with double as backpack straps and do their job to lock the stand in place when you reach your desired height. It lives up to expectations as being one of the lightest climbers you will ever find.I am 6'2 and about 275 and I felt very secure and safe while climbing and in the stand. Just wanted to give my $.02 on this climber, now that I've used it. 127 registered members ( mw2015, sumpter_al, Mansfield, Stickers, J_K, Calvin, Bull64, sw1002, Bcbama260, Bustinbeards, Hunter454, Narrow Gap, ttsam, Gobl4me, 10 POINT, BCLC, cartervj, Big Buck Video, mathews prostaff, crenshawco, ThankfulHunter, BDG, dave260rem!, Ru-shu-tn, Robert D., Skinner, Petey, shootnmiss, mapc, Rmart30, Buckkiller77, jb20, rst87, Chiller, AU coonhunter, deadeye48, jwyatt, Semo, Lonster, Big AL 76, ALredbone, Young20, fourfive45, M48scout, mcninja, TexasHuntress, Joe4majors, Tailwalk7, Skullworks, goodman_hunter, mzzy, S_Dubs, tbest3, Birdman83, Gunpowder, Dragfan66, Jason Carroll, BigEd, fur_n_feathers, Jdkprp70, crocker, PaytonWP, JustHunt, Frogeye, OutdoorsAL, fladeerhntr, Buckwheat, Hunting-231, RCHRR, Borty, metalmuncher, Huntn2feed5, Mjh97, Turkey, Buckhammer, leroycnbucks, BradB, akbejeepin, Oleman, WildRivers, 4Tigers, Dkhargroves, Ben2, Raspy, HHSyelper, Jbf, rockhunter, bug54, Ridge Life, Herdbull, AUtgr, BuckRidge17, Billbrassky, Hunt-Fish-231, Bowhunter2011, Wapiti55, Chancetribe, Daveleeal, Buckscent, jono23, CCC, Alb, Bama two, Ron A., 160ALS, turkeychaser, apolloslade, Jmkiper, HURRICANE, JohnG, Stefan, 16 invisible),
