Trophyline HyperLite Climbing Sticks

Each stick weighs 17.5 ounces. When you pack the full four-pack, the total weight is very manageable for long treks, especially given the compact nesting design.

No, you do not. The unibody construction is designed specifically to eliminate moving parts, which naturally prevents the clanking and noise common with traditional folding sticks.

The sticks use a custom 6-foot Amsteel rope with a Schwabisch friction hitch. It is a reliable, knot-based system that grips the tree securely and is widely preferred by saddle hunters for its simplicity and light weight.

They are designed for standard climbing applications, but like all climbing sticks, they perform best on trees with relatively straight trunks. The friction-hitch attachment provides enough flexibility to handle slight variations in tree diameter.

The Trophyline HyperLite sticks are rated for a maximum weight capacity of 300 pounds, which includes the hunter and their gear.

Thanks to the nesting design, the sticks collapse into a stack with a packed height of just 6.25 inches. This low-profile shape makes them significantly easier to strap to a pack compared to standard climbing sticks.
