RE: hang ons...
That's exactly right Greg... No way I'm leaving them out either. Four sticks plus that Alpha hang-on -- I don't even want to think about how much it would cost me to replace that.
I know for sure I can get set up in my Summit Cobraa lot quicker, and especially on the way down. With four sticks, I never know what to do with the top two after removing them: drop them to the ground (which I'm not fond of abusing any of my equipment like that), or carry them down and go back up after the other two.
