Sticks? What sticks? Y'all still using sticks? Bless your hearts.What about sticks?
That’s way too much.
That’s way too much.
But, but, but... my Summit only cost me 250.00 back in 1999.....
You can still get a viper for $280….so….
I could also use 2tc to get up the same tree for about $40 bucks. lol.
If I was starting from scratch and building a complete climbing kit from the ground up - I might consider spending that much - but it’s still a lot for a single component (and one that only works well in certain types of trees.) if I had an extra $1000 there’s better uses for my money. I’ve already got more than enough safe ways to get up a tree.I almost pre-ordered one when that 20% off discount code was available. Don’t know if it would have been applied, but $800 seems about right.
I didn’t though, primarily because my own climbing platform is slightly lighter than the Crossover is spec and I wanted to see the real world weight of it before making any decisions.
When I hear it’s way too much, it makes me think about modern rifles and glass. Many hunters never really experience the performance benefits of thousand and multi thousand dollar gear, and sometimes those benefits are more perceived to begin with.
In this case some of the attributes of the product will definitely outperform others, to what degree it is value added for the expense is really more about the individual than the price tag.
With hang-ons and frame packs pushing $700, it doesn’t seem way to much to me, especially if purchased at a discount.
