How often do you replace your cables on your climber?
I was wondering how often you change your cables on your climbers. I have had my summit stand for 8+ years and have never changed my cables. That being said I am planning on changing them after the season or if i get them for christmas. I know 8 years is prolly too long, but they didnt have any wear on them other than shrink tubing. How long do you guys go before changing them?

I've had my summit 3 years now, and the cables are perfectly fine. I am, however, going to get new shrink tubing for them.
The frequency depends on the use, and abuse. Having said that....when in doubt, buy new ones.

why would you question the worth of your cables. Im guessing something has happened.

I think they were 3 years old. The reason I replace them was the heat shrink coating was pretty tore up but the cables were fine.
