I’m wanting to use a cam cleat on my platform that I am also going to one stick on. My question is. I’m a well I feel like bigger guy. 6’2” max 240. Will the harkam cam cleat hold me on all day sits.
 
6' - 240# + gear. I've used the same Harken 150 cam cleat on my one stick for over 3 years now (more than 275 climbs) with absolutely no issues. I don't use one on my platform so I can't speak to how it holds over time but I can assure its too tight to pull the rope out on the one stick without pulling the stick up and slacking the rope first.

X2. I’ve also used one on and off over the years on different sticks and have one on my EWO UOS. I’m almost 6’2” and over 240 loaded and it’s safe as houses.
 
EWO one stick. Usually around 250-260. No issues. Thats no boots, clothes, exc. I've climbed it with my pack a few times. Still works like when I got it.
