I have the Lone Wolf Alpha hand climber and it is by far the fastest stand to set up and climb with that I have ever used. I use the over head method. Extend the seat above your head, grab the side of seat, and pull up with your legs. I can climb 2' feet at a time and can be 20' up a tree in less than a minute. Although the hand climber seat is not the most comfortable seat to use for an all day hunt, the portability and ease of use is worth it.
