My whole kit everything included is right at 6lbs and easily fits in a small backpack. If a guy really wanted to streamline things a custom foot platform could be made for both additional weight savings and more secure footing...currently my foot rest is a 2" x20" hardwood dowel. But a plastic folding type could easily be designed that could offer even better footing and still be used as your climber...
Of course, now we need a few pictures and a demo video of how you climb with this setup.
