Are you sure it was a Summit? They are the most lightest, most easiest, climbers to pack in and out with. Maybe it was one of the older model Summits when they were all heavy gauge steel and weighed probably 35 pounds at max. The new model Summit stands are only like 21 pounds and honest, you don't even mind it - even after a 1 mile hike in.

I just can't see shimmying up a tree in the dark with that thing. Seems dangerous...
