ULTRALIGHT REDEFINED

More Footing. More Confidence.

Many ultralight climbing sticks achieve weight reduction by shrinking the usable climbing surface. Narrow steps and shallow stand-off distances force awkward foot positioning against the tree, reducing stability and creating a more fatiguing, less confident climb —especially in cold conditions or while carrying gear.

CarbonLITE™ was engineered around a substantially larger climbing interface with over 9.5 inches of step width and a full 4-inch stand-off from the tree. The increased spacing creates more usable room for secure boot placement while allowing the body to maintain a more natural climbing posture throughout ascent and descent. Combined with optimized 10° angled step geometry, the system promotes smoother movement and more balanced weight transfer between steps.

The result is a climbing experience that feels significantly more stable and controlled than traditional ultralight sticks, delivering greater confidence without sacrificing mobility-focused weight savings.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY

CARBONLITE™ FEATURES

CarbonLITE™ Climbing Sticks redefine what hunters should expect from ultralight climbing systems. Built with high modulus carbon fiber and precision CNC-machined 7075 aluminum components, CarbonLITE™ delivers the lightweight efficiency mobile hunters demand without sacrificing stability, confidence, or control.

Axis™ Inline Stack System

True Inline Nesting

Traditional climbing stick stacking systems often create uneven pack profiles caused by offset nesting and inconsistent alignment between sticks. That added bulk not only affects packability, but also creates frustration during deployment when sticks separate inconsistently or catch on gear during setup.

The Patent Pending AXIS™ Stack System was developed around a true center-axis nesting architecture that allows each stick to align precisely inline during transport. By eliminating offset stacking geometry, the system creates a tighter, more balanced pack profile while improving overall organization and deployment consistency in the field.

This produces a noticeably cleaner carry system that packs flatter, deploys smoother, and reduces unnecessary movement and noise during mobile hunts.

High-Modulus Carbon Fiber & CNC 7075 Construction

Tuned Material Engineering for Ultralight Strength

Many lightweight climbing sticks reduce overall mass effectively, but often introduce excess vibration, harsh metallic feel, or compromised structural confidence under dynamic climbing load. In cold conditions, traditional aluminum-heavy systems can also become noticeably louder and less comfortable to handle.

CarbonLITE™ combines a high modulus carbon fiber main tube with precision CNC-machined 7075 aluminum structural components to balance ultralight efficiency with real-world climbing performance. The carbon fiber construction reduces overall system weight while naturally dampening vibration and minimizing the cold conductive feel associated with conventional metal climbing sticks. CNC-machined 7075 aluminum reinforcement is then strategically utilized in critical load-bearing zones where maximum structural strength and precision are required.

The result is a climbing system that feels exceptionally lightweight and quiet during transport while still maintaining the rigidity, durability, and climbing confidence demanded in mobile hunting set ups.

Extreme Tree Bite™ Traction System

Aggressive Engagement for No-Shift Stability

Climbing confidence depends heavily on how securely a stick interfaces with the tree under load. Insufficient tooth engagement or poorly designed traction geometry can allow subtle shifting during ascent, reducing stability and increasing hesitation while climbing.

The Extreme Tree Bite™ system utilizes aggressively machined-radius traction teeth engineered to penetrate bark more effectively and maintain stronger contact pressure throughout the climbing cycle. Combined with the RopeLok™ attachment system, the traction architecture helps stabilize the stick against rotational movement and minimizes unwanted shift once weighted.

This creates a more planted and confidence-inspiring climbing platform that allows hunters to move more decisively and efficiently while ascending in a wide range of bark textures and tree conditions.

RopeLok™ Attachment & Integrated Rope Storage System

Streamlined Attachment With Cleaner Rope Management

Loose attachment ropes and complicated fastening systems can create unnecessary noise, clutter, and inefficiency during both transport and setup. Poor rope management often leads to tangled cordage, slower setup, and excess hassle at the base of the tree.

The RopeLok™ system was engineered to provide fast, intuitive stick attachment while maintaining consistent tension and secure tree engagement under load. Integrated rope storage hooks are built directly into the stick architecture, allowing attachment ropes to remain organized, contained, and immediately accessible throughout transport and deployment.

Together, these systems create a cleaner and quieter climbing workflow that improves setup efficiency while reducing unnecessary noise and frustration in low-light situations.

Low-Light Visibility Tabs

Confident Foot Placement Before and After the Hunt

Navigating climbing systems in darkness often forces hunters to search visually for step placement, increasing unnecessary movement and slowing setup during critical low-light periods when stealth matters most.

CarbonLITE™ integrates glow-in-the-dark visibility tabs directly into each climbing step to improve visual reference during early morning and evening climbs. The low-profile markers remain easy to identify in reduced light conditions without introducing excessive visual distraction or unnecessary complexity into the climbing system.

This allows hunters to locate footing faster, move more confidently in darkness, and maintain smoother climbing rhythm during critical entry and exit windows.

Customers praised these climbing sticks as "super lightweight" and "rock-solid," with excellent tree grip and easy attachment. The rope connection system and stackability received high marks. However, several customers noted the rubber storage attachment fails to hold sticks together reliably, requiring additional straps. Minor noise issues are easily resolved with stealth strips.

Highly recommended for the price. Get a 4th stick or an aider to get enough height.

Highly recommended, light but strong. It did take me a few uses to really figure out how to lock the sticks in in with zero movement once on the tree. I would recommend ordering an extra stick or using an aider, the 3 pack only gets me about 12-14 feet up. I did wrap mine using camo canvas wrap tape to blend in better. The sticks are light and pretty quiet.

Quality stick, but do not stay together as

Quality stick, but do not stay together as advertised. They need to come up with a better attachment method.

Great piece of kit light weight a good standoff from the tree extremely light so you don’t have all that weight slowing you down walking into your spot.

Awesome sticks! Easy to attach and climb and super light weight. Game changer

These are the bomb!

Aside from the noise, which is easily fixed with stealth strips, I have zero complaints. Best stick on the market in my opinion.

Absolutely Next Level Climbing Sticks!!

I've used a lot of hunting gear over the years, and these CarbonLite sticks are in a league of their own! The combination of incredibly lightweight construction, rock-solid stability, and attention to detail is hard to beat. Everything about them feels purpose-built for serious mobile hunters who refuse to compromise on their equipment.

When you're packing gear deep into the woods, every ounce matters, and having a setup that's lightweight without sacrificing confidence or functionality is a game changer. These sticks check all the boxes.

Arsenal has raised the bar with these. Premium gear built for hunters who take their equipment seriously. If you're looking for a top-tier climbing system, these deserve a spot at the very top of your list. Absolutely worth the investment!

So far have made 3 climbs with this stick with a 3 step aider. Bites great into the trees. Very easy to pack and on stick with this product. Highly recommend to anyone looking a quality climbing stick.

Awesome sticks but storage method does not work

First off these are great sticks. They bite into the tree very good and are light and quiet. The issue is the storage method. It will not even hold 2 sticks together let alone the 4 I purchased. When you here them bragging about this system I am not sure what they changed but these will not stay together no matter what. They even added a small rubber keeper to them but it does not help either. You will need a secondary strap to secure these together period. They say they are working on a resolution for this problem and I will revise this review when and if they are fixed. For a premium priced stick this was a major disappointment and something that should have been worked out before the release. Honestly unacceptable and obviously just in a hurry to get a product out before being properly tested.

These sticks are absolutely amazing for someone

These sticks are absolutely amazing for someone that wears a size 14 finding a climbing stick that’s easy to climb isn’t the easiest but hunt arsenal has knocked it out of the park with these.

AwesRubber attachment problemlem is the rubber attachment

First off these are great sticks they bite really well and the rope attachment is super easy to use but the reason I'm going with 4!star s is when stacked together the rubber pieces that is supposed to keep them together does not hold at all mine has already pulled out of my stick where I have the added weight of the max 3 aider on mine

Excellent product and customer service !

Overall good

Overall, I like the climbing sticks. Only thing I would change is the rubber piece used to hold the sticks together in the stowed position. The Sticks can still pop apart unintentionally with the design. Also, between freezing temps in the winter, and all the use, I imagine this little rubber piece wearing out before too long. I’d prefer a more stable and longterm stowing option in the design. I’ll create a more longterm and sturdy solution for my set, but at over $100 per stick, I don’t think I should need to create a better longterm option for stowing and holding the sticks together….

Greatest sticks ever

So much to say:
-super light
- very stackable
-awesome rope connection
- bite on tree is so solid
Honestly these are the best sticks ever. Only negative was the purchase experience where pre order was so delayed instead they shipped to Scheels and Lancaster.
But veterans discount made up for it.
Thanks HA

User Friendly Design

Haven’t had a chance to use them on a hunt yet, but like the lightweight design & how easily they nest together & pack.

The “Silencer Kit” was a nice added touch. Have the 2-step aider, so should be able to get plenty high w/ 3 sticks.

Looking forward to getting them in the field for the IL opener in 2 weeks

Great quality

Amazing set of light sticks, put them on tree already just to see how they would feel. And they are rock solid! Can’t wait for season to start.

The complete climbing stick

The carbon weave, aluminum standoffs, and ropelok make these sticks very hard to beat. Well done Hunt Arsenal!

Quality, light weight, awesome standoff but still packs tight. However they come apart really easy. Its nothing a silicone strap or silicone twist tie cant fix but it would've been nicer if they couldn't just fall apart so easy. All in all they've outdone themselves.

Love the steps. Big footprint and hang easy.

Sweet sticks. Can throw aiders on these no problem

Absolutely the best sticks and aiders on the market

Light weight and well constructed sticks.

Great System!

Cloud Flexx saddle and sticks are the ticket. Saddle is comfortable and the sticks are well thought out. It’s easy attaching on my pack and on the saddle while climbing. Sticks attach easily and the aiders give me the height needed. Definitely cuts the time in half climbing and packing it up when finished with the hunt. Quality through and through. Well done!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What comes included with the Carbonlite Climbing Sticks?

The Carbonlite Climbing Sticks come ready with: 4mm Durabraid™ Attachment Ropes Aiders and additional accessories are sold separately.

How are the CarbonLITE™ steps attached? Do they rely on epoxy for a secure connection?

No. The CarbonLITE™ steps are mechanically secured using a four-bolt clamping assembly and two through-pins—not an epoxy bond. Each carbon tube end contains our patented aluminum reinforcement plug. Epoxy holds this internal plug in place; it is not used to attach the steps to the carbon tube. The plug reinforces the tube against clamping pressure and provides solid internal support for the spring pins. Four bolts—two from the front and two from the back—clamp the step assembly around the reinforced tube. Two spring pins pass completely through the step assembly, both carbon tube walls, and the internal aluminum plug, mechanically securing the connection. The step attachment therefore relies on the clamping assembly and through-pins, rather than adhesive bonding. This design has undergone multiple years of development and testing under both vertical and lateral loading.

Can I use the Maxx Step Aiders with the Carbonlite Climbing Sticks?

Yes, absolutely. The Carbonlite Climbing Sticks work with the Maxx Step Aiders and other aiders with a similar attachment method.
