Toting around a pair of 10lb climbing sticks seems to completely defeat the purpose. What am I missing here?

These are some of my thoughts too. I’m curious and wouldn’t mind checking one out but if I’m not cutting a significant amount weight I don’t see many more advantages.


I think you leave the sticks on the tree but I could be wrong?
