Another question I have is......how is sitting on that rail to climb? It doesn't look very wide. Do you sit on it in the "down" position? Or....is it on the same plane as the summit rail as you climb?
I dunno where the Summit rail is..but on a LW
Therail dangles if you will "as if" you were sitting in the seat it hangs where your knees would be (depending on your height)..but below the seat is that answer
Another question.....based on some inffo posted, here.
I've NEVER had to use the strap to secure the upper part of my summit.....and some in here have said they have to to make it "reallY' secure. What's the verdict?
Are we talking about securing the top to the bottom? Well the politically correct answer is ALWAYS: for SAFETY concerns secure the top to the bottom, in any 2 piece climber!
But it's not neccesary for functionality, nor does it help it or hinder it in any way.
GMMAT as an atheletic, able bodied type individual, if you are going to look at Lone Wolf Stands don't automatically think sit and climb...my hand climber goes to the woods 8 times out of 10, the sit and climb goes the other 2.
