I've had the opportunity to use the sticks. They were borrowed from a friend. The standoff height is not much different then my helium's. The biggest difference is the curvature in the step which puts the step closest to the tree at its most narrow part. But overall they're still easy to climb. As far as the noise some stealth strips and maybe a little dab of great stuff in the end of each tube will quiet them down more than enough. The steps and standoffs make a little sound when you first set them, but I think most of that will go away with stealth strips and closing the end of the tube. I would have tried it out myself but like I said the sticks did not belong to me. I also found the easiest way to put the sticks together is to lay them on top of each other line up the pins and just squeeze. I had no fiddle Factor at all putting the sticks together. They are so incredibly light. I would say the biggest disadvantages packability because of the fix steps and standoffs. But you can find a way to make anything work if your willing to. I did not bother weighing the sticks just because I don't care if they are half an ounce heavier or lighter either way. I think they are a great product and I believe lots and lots of people will find that they are happy with the money they spent. These sticks will save me about two and a half pounds on my helium Minis
How high were you climbing with how many sticks?
