If I were to use this for climbing, would I need to have someone set it for me by hand from the top, or could I throw it up there and climb?

Based on the dimensions and weight, provided you have the physical ability to throw it with enough force and at the right angles. Make sure it's gripping tight by putting all body weight on rope and swing/squirm around, replicating a climb, to ensure a safe breaching:) realistically you'll need practice to throw it higher than a 3 story building, just keep throwing it, and stretch so you don't pull anything

I purchased this to pull stubborn limbs out of tree that wouldn't fall on their own. It seems to hook up pretty good on its own in trees. I guess it all depends on what you are tryin to climb. I will say that it seems to be made well.

The idea of a grappling hook is that it is thrown, entangling (grappling) itself on branches, rocks, etc. Whether you then climb is highly dependent on the solidity of the material that is locking it in and your own abilities. Proceed at your own risk! ;)

Hi Tavia, no you can push the ladder in and out without the crank. You can also raise it without the crank, However I don't like pushing it DOWN by force, although its happened before and still works fine, it takes some force to push it and I don't want to take the chance. Overall a very sturdy toy

It really depends on how much help you have. I would recommend at least 4 people to help you, as the legs are not attached by anything other than gravity, so having people to assist when lifting will make your life a lot easier. Realistically, for the first time setting this up, I would give yourself an hour to figure out all the pieces and how they go together. After that I would say probably half that time.

The upper climber. I'm thinking of filling both with some spray foam or something similar.

Yes. I'm 45 years old and only 5'3 and about 130 lbs and I can set it up and take it down myself. Granted it would be easier with another person but it can be done alone. Good luck!

No this would not work, you can only use at the top. If you are in a situation where the ladder is not on firm ground, you would need something much different to stabilize the bottom of the ladder - large sheet of plywood - something like that.

Can't answer that as the highest level is a function of the stability of the ground under the ladder, the surface against which the upper point will be resting, the availability of a spotter-cum-ladder holder and the anchoring of both top and bottom that may be available. The ladder itself is very well built and solid/strong. You should do some on line reading about ladder safety and be excessively cautious. OLDHOUSEONLINE.COM has a good introductory page on how to use a ladder.

You would have to use different stake system to make it sturdy. Would recommend flat because of tipping hazard on slope. My twin 4 year old grandsons love to climb on this. Very happy with it.

Well, first of all, you wouldn't want it "level to the ground" or you won't be able to flex the trampoline. I think it goes without saying that you could dig a big hole and put it in that if you want, knock yourself out.

Hello, Thank you for the question. Would depend on if the climbing stand has a shooting rail that's incorporated with it, or if you plan to leave the climber in the tree and use some of the tree steps to get in and out with it. Other wise we would have to say no. Thank you WorldGoodsCorp

Yes! I am female and 5 feet tall & I can set this up all by myself. However I am a strong girl, I workout often and practice proper form when lifting things. Might not be so easy for someone out of shape or lacking strength.

Not sure what you are asking but yes you can use this with a climbing tree stand, it's what I use. You just slid it up the tree above the upper part of the stand as you go up. Then, you leave it on the tree when you go down and it is ready when you use it the next time. When you are done with that tree you just slid it down as you descend for the last time. I love it and feel much safer using it.

Very intriguing idea. It would not be too dangerous if you dragged it up hill. You would not be in the path of gravity. If you stand below it, most people would say it is dangerous. I would be willing to do it by being vigilant and nimble.

Yes, I think so. But you would have to figure out an attachment to keep it out of the water when you are not using it, but still be able to easily get it into the water. It's also more difficult to climb out because of the way the ladder sways in the water.

I wish I could answer the question but I only used it for a small camping trip on the beach and I don't have any mountain climbing experience. It is easy to assemble but I am not sure that it would pack small enough for your needs.

Its Dynamic. You Wouldn't use a static rope for climbing and i dont think anyone would sell someone a static rope for climbing, as it i advertised a climbers package

it's part of the bungee which makes it tough. Maybe try a sports shop that works with rock climbing equipment, the could probably jerry-rig it for you.
