I need to verify which replacement chain I need for my climber, but can't seem to find any info on it. It is a discontinued API model bought aproximately 5 years ago. It is aluminum, and you face the tree while climbing AND while sitting. You cannot turn around in it. You are totally encompesseed by it, it has two bars across the back with a foam covering ang a foam sling seat. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I will be truely impressed if anyone can find an answer to this problem. Thanks,
Nate

I would recommend getting a new climber. I believe API is out of business. I read somewhere that the motorcycle chains they used were rusting and then breaking on people while they are up in a tree. It’s not worth replacing the chins and using that stand. It will be more expensive to buy a new stand but I am sure you value your life/heath more than $200-300.
I had an API for a few years. I liked it very much. 2 years ago I switched to a summit and it is a far superior climber IMO. I think I'm going to throw my API away. I would not sell it to anyone knowing what they are capable of.

Why not convert it to a stationary?

How do you do that without using the chain?
