how tough is it on your core for your legs to lift the bottom platform? i'm 66, and in sorta decent shape for my age. i figure hand climber is the very lightest climber in weight. it's been about 36 years since i've used one.

Do some sit ups and crunches. You abdomen will do most of the work.

About to be 47 and no problems. I'm certainly not in the same shape I used to be. I love hunting out of a climber.

I'm going on 56 and have no problem with a 20 lb climber. If it is difficult for you just shorten the distance you move each step. You can even put some of (or most of) your weight on your butt / on the top platform
I don't want to pass quietly into the night. I want to slide in sideways kickin and screamin Life really is awesome ... Soak it up while you can ...

Just take it up in small amounts itll be very easy instead of trying to go 2 foot up at a time go a half foot or so will take longer to climb but won't be difficult at all

I have no problems with my summit titan. I am 6'2, 270 and have had three back surgeries. I take my time going up and down a tree!

Some of you guys don't understand. A hand climber is not a sit and stand. It has no front bar to sit on.

the x stands look almost delicate. any of y'all use 'em? I use one religiously, the only downside is comfort. It's like sitting in a standard lockon with a thick cushion. I just did 4 all day sits in a row in my x stand, but it wasn't fun. It's very stable. Cinches down with stabilizer straps. The two cable guides are carbon and bend til they touch the tree. I've never felt unsafe, specifically compared to a hand climber.
