Pole climbing looks easy... so does riding a bull. If your not trained for pole climbing, you can end up like a bull rider, "crippled".
I'll second that. My dad works for PP&L (elecrtic company) and has a pair of these. I strapped them on one time and had a heck of a time getting 10 feet off the ground. I can't imagine doing it to go hunting. I agree with either spraying the steps of getting a climber.
