Got these two older climbers that are loud and heavy; just trying to still use them. Was thinking of strapping it in like a hang-on and using sticks/steps to climb up. Anybody ever done this before?

Yep I've done it just be careful stepping into the 2 piece climbers. I put the top section all the way down and let it rest on the platform.

Do they make a noise while set up in your tree??

Put a rachet strap on the base of them where it bites into the tree and crack it down, it will be rock solid.

No noise while in the tree just climbing up. Strap on the bottom is what I had in mind as well. Thanks

You may be able to dampen or eliminated the noise. Do you know what causes the noise. I add pipe insulation, tighten bolts that don't need to slip, oil, add electrical tape and replace chain/cable and guards as required to be whisper quite during carry in and climbing.

Being able to use it as a climber will give you more flexibility in hunting locations.
