This is my first season running 2TC and I have 4 climbs so far under hunting conditions. My thoughts so far are that I like it. For me it beats sticks hands down. It is way lighter than sticks. There is really no bulk. There is very little metal to make racket. The whole kit, ring of steps, knee pads and saddle easily fit in my backpack with plenty of room for other gear.
One thing I did add after the climb down in the dark on the first night was a short section of rubber tube to the Blake's hitch foot loop. I also put reflective strips on each end of the tube. The tube is about 1 inch diameter and large enough to slide on the 11.4mm predator line with a little force. This serves two purposes and solves an issue I had the first night climbing down in the dark. One, it keeps the foot loop open. Secondly, with the reflective strips I can now see where to put my foot much more easily in the dark. It also provides a bit more foot comfort.
So far so good.
