I used a few different climbers. When I purchased my LW Alpha hang on I sold my climber and use the LW Alpha and Sticks. They will go in ANY tree a climber will and then some. For me, being very mobile, rarely sit in the same tree more than 2X, this set up is top notch and a breeze to hang. Here in Wisconsin I have to take my stands down after each sit, this set up is perfect for the mobile hunter!
