RE: Are there any easy ways to hang a stand??
I hang quite a few different lock on stands but the best is a climber.
Those lineman spikes and lineman belt are great if you have them. I still wind up hanging most of mine from the steps though with a lineman belt.
I use steps I make at home and tie them on with rope as I go up.
I tie a rope to the stand and hook it to the belt and when I get where I want it I screw in a screw in step and pull up the stand with the rope.
Tie the rope on the step with a clove hitch and it's easy to adjust up or down a little to get it where you want it and the rope will hold it for you while you set it up.
If you have a partner it helps even more because they can pull down on the rope over the step to help pull it up to you.
