RE: Climber phase?
IMO climbers are great for when you find that smokin hot sign and you don't want to mess things up by taking the trouble to hang a stand. But I too agree that it gets pretty tiring hauling that thing in and out. I've had several different climbers over the years and my final opinion at this point is Lone Wolf is the easiest to pack in and out but Summit is by far the most comfortable.
