LWCG Crossover Climber POV Climbing Video - Climbing Demonstration 

The noise heard in this video is amplified due to the wireless microphone around my neck. In a hunting situation, steps would need to be take to limit the noise. Im using a TX5 Minimalist Saddle to help keep me safe ascending the tree. Next time I will use my OHM tether locker to keep my tether in place to make it easier. Even a big guy can use this climber!!

With what you experienced, can you imagine a modified LW Climber + One-Stick system? By ditching the LW Seat portion of the Set and attaching the straps of the foot platform to the linemen loops of a saddle (in case it drops), a person could use the Saddle in place of the LW Seat while raising the foot platform, stand to raise the tether/repel rope, sit and repeat. You spent time moving the tether up the tree anyway. and with a tether locker going forward, it will be even less of a PIA. Having a ring of steps (if desired) would give 360 shooting while hunting height (assuming it would not be stable to push off the foot platform). Regardless, if the platform somehow fell to the ground, a one-sticker is planning to repel to the ground at the end of the hunt anyway. The system would be Saddle + LW Base + Tether/Repel rope + ROS if desired. A One-Sticker could rid themselves of the hanging off the side of the tree movement while climbing.

Thanks for being the first to demo this stand doing a climb higher than 5 feet off the ground. Very helpful! Looks like the crossbar on the platform allows for a steeper pitch compared to the old LW.

I’ve been running a summit open shot for at least 15yrs and I love the stand light and comfortable. But being 15yrs old I’ve bout wore the thing out. I’d say the thing that appeals to me the most is the air and climb bar cause I’m getting old lol but the thing that I worry about is it on fits trees up to 18 inches

More importantly, did you get the Christmas lights down!? Haha, cool vid of the climb, you should go over setting it up on the tree start to finish on your next video. Setting the pitch and cover weird leaning trees

My biggest complaint with it was the noise it makes on the top portion where the belt and tube meets. It squeaks a ton. You can hear it in your video too. My old lone wolf climber doesn’t do that and I think it may be to the rubber belt rubbing against the rubber insert in the tube which Id assume is for protection against wear

Good demonstration! I just got one, wondering if you think the juice is worth the squeeze?$$ Been using the LW sit & climb over ten years & love it, looking forward to using this lighter version. - Check out NY saddle hunter, tree stand safety system, I got an F4 biley(spelling??) device from them, safest system ever with the climber & saddle, if anything happens, you can lower yourself back down slowly just using the rope.

I enjoy your videos because I weigh 260lbs. with less muscle. That being said, trust me when I say this. You should try the S.M.A.R.T. one stix method. Also my stix n stand combo. I only started a channel because I thought it might save folks. No desire to be in front of the camera. The stick, stand, n everything else came later. Oh I know you will give a no b.s. opinion. That's what I'm counting on. I hope you try it thanks.

Maybe a lineman’s belt would be more convenient? Instead of having to tighten the tether all the time.

Do you think that you can use the silent Seat on the crossover ?

What is the weight of each section? I have seen the bottom is usually most of the weight

Is there any talk of making a larger climber?

Nice stand. However, the innovation here is not worth 3x the cost of the hand climber, to me at least.

Ok... WhyTF is the TOP of the seat done up in camo and NOT the bottom???? Hahahahahahahaha
