I went with a climber (Summits Goliath X4) and i must say i've laid my old ladder/hangon to rest, the thing about that old ladder hang on it was just to darn heavy to pack through the woods it was if i felt like a giant boom crane walking through the woods with that ladder over my shoulders and then the idea of carrying that platform with the other hand then once you got to your location it would be time to strap that ol' ladder to the tree then climb to the top of that ladder and now become some sort of trapeze artist to try and hoist up and attach your platform. No, no more of that for me, Summit solved all that for me, go with a climber dewd.
