RE: summit climber users
With a good saftey harness, some athleticism and good balance you can pretty much do anything. Doing these manuevers quietly is a whole different ballgame. I have unhooked and moved my stand over limbs while up in the tree and also gone up split limb trees. I usually end up clanking the 2 pieces of the stand together and make a ton of noise though. Most of the time I try to avoid it and find a nice straight tree, but sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
