RE: hang ons...
Tfox, I wished I could come spend some time with you... I've got the Alpha hang-on and four steps, and while I like them ok, I can't put them up nearly as quiet as I can my climber -- and it takes a lot longer, too. I'm thinking of buying their hand climber because I really like the concept of that traction belt; I don't see how you can get quieter and quicker than that.
