What's your favorite?


I used an Old Man Grand Multivision until about 2 years ago. I had a vine pull the pin on my seat while climbing down and nearly had a bad accident. I was left hanging upside down with my ankles trapped in the foot straps. I made it out uninjured except for some sprains and terrible bruises.

I am now looking for a new stand and I have considered the Goliath. I'm 6'4 and about 290lbs. I'm still thinking about what I want to do though since I've killed several sitting on the ground out of a packed in folding camp chair. The chair is lighter and safer than any stand but I've climbed for the last 35 years without incident until that one. I do know I'll never be in another stand that uses webbing straps on your feet or pins to hold the cables.
