Great post. Agreed on all fronts. I am surprised with all this attention and innovation that there has not been a saddle climber released.Problem is, there isn't a good purpose built platform for climbing..yet.
That said, all these new 1-sticks with various platforms on top are effectively the new "climbing platform". You just spend time climbing up to it rather than always standing on it. They are perhaps better at navigating limbs compared to a true climber, but have similar weights (unless traded off for platform size), and identical or greater weights if you choose to rappel down rather than platform/stick climb down.
