I cut mine and then modded the heck out of it. I got it during 2020 season and started to mod it immediately that off season with the intent of making it a climbing platform. I was very successful in 2021 with it but did some more mods in hopes of perfecting it. I finally have it how I want it and now there's a handful of options available that are lighter and well designed that could also be modded into climbing platforms. If I was looking to go that same route now I'd get my hands on a few at once and pick the most appealing to me. I don't plan on changing from the Mission anytime soon though. I'm not going to fix what ain't broke.
