Since nobody has said it - get a Lone Wolf Alpha Hang-On, a set of Lone Wolf climbing sticks, and you're set. The stand itself is extremely lightweight, rock solid, amazingly quiet, and with the new seat it's very comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.

The sticks will get you up 14-15' without a problem, are just as light as the stand, and are built to stack into each other and strap directly to the stand. After you get used to using them as a combo you can have a stand hung in a very short amount of time, and in even less time you can pull it, stack it, and be packing back to your truck.

Here's a pic of a hang-on stand with a set of sticks strapped to it. Total weight: 20lbs.
