either lay it on the top section of the climber, put it over your head and wear it like a gun sling, or hunt from the ground that day.

I would secure it to the bottom of my climber and up she comes with me,I have a cord which joins the two together so the bottom portion can't fall down the trunk if my feet slip out of the spot were my boots go.

I carry several just incase one gets lost or miss placed. but if i had none i would either put it across the bars as i climb or take one of the arm straps off the stand and put it on the bow so i could put it on my back,

Don't use a summit climber for one. Too bulky. I prefer my loggy. I just attach it to my backpack or safety strap as I climb the tree.

If for some reason you forget your pull-up rope, don't go back to the truck and grab 15# fishing line to pull your bow up with. Don't ask me why...

I assume your saying the rope I use to haul the bow up a tree. Well, I have numerous treestands and there is no way for me to forget a rope. I have a 25 footer attached to each stand. I just wrap it around the stand when traveling and unwrap it when I get to my tree. If it's a hang-on stand I just let it hang down after that. Simple as that.
