You are the third independent person to come out with something like this. Its such a simple and needed idea for saddle hunting, i cant believe one of the big stand/saddle companies hasnt produced something like this. Much luck to you in this endeavor.
@@ospreyoutdoors2225I bet if you some how made this where it had a seat so once your up there you lock it in place fold down seat pull slack turn around sit down then you would have made it easy one platform and your rope system
There are 4 of these on the market at this time. This is the best I’ve seen. Simple and works with a ring of steps. I always use a platform + a ring of steps. 👍👏
That tree is an old white oak ~40" in diameter. I don't climb trees in the dark I can't get my hands around so that one is a no go for me without being prepped.
Hi Glenn, they should be available for purchase on the website now. We committed to ship our pre-orders by end of July. Looks like we should be one month ahead, likely shipping all pre-orders this week. At current pace, it might not take long before getting on back orders though.
@@ospreyoutdoors2225hello please make a top to this something like a hand climber that’s light for bow hunting and crossbow hunting something like summit open shot in terms of its open design man you could sell all you could make
The only problem I see with this is if your boots slip off the platform and the platform slides down the tree how are you getting it back up to you? I think it should be attached or somehow you’re able to retrieve it back up the tree.
Hi Paul and thanks for your interest. That information is available on our website www.ospreyoutdoors.com - let us know if you can't find it, we will make it more visible. Thank You!
@@Nextdoorneighbor625 In that case you disconnect under the limb and reconnect over the limb. The main thing is to manage safely the tether ropes transition. If too many limbs, saddle hunting will limit you anyway and you better use a hang on and keep the trunk in your back. It is a good topic, this said when you focus on that on the many youtube videos available, it seems the majority of hunters posting videos hunt from trees without limb.
@@EricBynog-zd4rd You probably could. When I first started saddle hunting years ago, I used my LW Hand Climber seat/top section as my platform with some hillbilly engineered foot straps and climbed basically the same way they show in this video. While there are pros to climbing with a system like this, as with any climbing stand you're just limited to the size and shape of trees you can get up in more than a sticks & platform or "one stick" methods. Whichever you prefer is up to the individual hunter to decide on though.
The Summit Openshot SD weighs 15 pounds and is much easier to use than this cumbersome contraption. Not only that, you can use good archery form when shooting from the Summit Openshot. Don’t waste your money on a fad.
@@garyhamm6398 It is always good to get insights from people who talk without trying/knowing. We are coming from climbers and came with the Lean Ascent for good reasons. If you want to carry 15lbs and are happy with your climber, so be it. We don't think the hunting community needs negative comments from people who have not tried the product. Perhaps a good action for you in 2025: what about you start your own channel to share your wisdom? Happy New Year!

Thank you. We appreciate the support! It took a couple of years to test and finetune the product from the original idea.

@@ospreyoutdoors2225another question I have is can I use your bottom and summit open shot hand climber too

Love that you did this with boots on
Loving this video. You’re a great salesman. It’s in order thank you
Sweet, I am gonna have to review one of these!
Been using the bottom of my climber for a few years….bought this as soon as I saw it. Just arrived, now just have to figure out how to pack it best
@@drucifuh I usually carry it on one shoulder just as I would carry a rifle
Theres a tree at 5:38 to the right branches going everywhere will this fit around that base and get you in it?
That tree is an old white oak ~40" in diameter. I don't climb trees in the dark I can't get my hands around so that one is a no go for me without being prepped.
You won't get any full climber that can fit around that tree
Tout simplement génial
À voir si un jour ça sera disponible en France ?
Merci pour vos vidéos
Je vous ferai signe si je peux en ramener quelques unes supplémentaires pour les tests pendant le rut le mois prochain.
@@ospreyoutdoors2225 avec plaisir. Merci. Je vous envoi un mail avec mes coordonnées.
What is the total weight of this product with the strap?
What’s wrong with a good climbing stand?
@@garyhamm6398 Nothing wrong, just a lot of extra weigth, no ability to hide behind the tree or shoot 360°...
When will these be available to purchase again on your website ?

How do you get around branches? Or are you restricted to trees without branches for the first 20’? Thanks!
Sit in the saddle and unhook the platform. Go above the branch and rebook it
Where do you buy this

@@Jak1481 Good point! We have a cord you connect to your saddle if you look closer to the video or website pictures.
Nice piece of equipment how much
Thank you Earle for the kind words. You can find more information on our website and pricing here : www.ospreyoutdoors.com/product/lean-ascent-alpha/4

How big and how small of a tree can you climb?
Hi Paul and thanks for your interest. That information is available on our website www.ospreyoutdoors.com - let us know if you can't find it, we will make it more visible. Thank You!
I tried to find it on your website. Could you point me in the right direction?
6"-22" diameter trees according to their website at the moment
What are the dimensions and weight?
Platform is 16" x 13.5" long, weights ~5lbs, slightly over 6lbs with strap and cable
Always loose slack in the tether! Chances of falling are always there when moving the tether that far up and down.
What about a tree with limbs an you had better not drop anything
@@Nextdoorneighbor625 In that case you disconnect under the limb and reconnect over the limb. The main thing is to manage safely the tether ropes transition.

No path to ground with this system ad you constantly put slack in your tether. It’s not for me
@@markmurrell1894 hi Mark, what do you mean by "no path to ground"?
@@ospreyoutdoors2225why could you not use this bottom with a hand climber top that would be bad ass

No path to the ground? Sure there is. It’s called a repelling rope
So how do I get one?
