    I use my rope on my climber as my height indicator. Once it's snug I know I'm in the the same spot as when I set the spot up.
    I'll admit I don't use one with my ladder stand. I just carry the bow up and down with me.

    For the climber it's to the ground, but all the hangons and ladders its 4ft up.
