Anyone used one of these before?

I'm thinking about buying one as a back-up to my Summit since they are priced half off. Might be last year's model, but oh well, still works.

Let me know what you think.

I got a greyback last year. I haven't had a lot of experience with climbers, but it seems like a quality product and I'm happy with it so far.

I have 2 of these stands. they are the best climber i have ever used other than an ol' man. and rumor has it that gorilla has bought the patten for ol'man. if this is true or not i don't know. all i know is that they are very similar. set up is a piece of cake. there is a square guide on the cables so you don't have to worry about your loop spinning when you try and place the pin in. first i bought the plain gorilla and had to exchange it for the magnum. the extra 3 inches in the seat section makes a huge difference. the only downfall to this stand is the bar you sit on while climbingis a little far from the tree making not hard but just notsuper comfortable going up and down.it is super secure on the tree, i have never hadmine slip at all .the mesh seat is very comfortable, i don't have the deluxe pad but i am sure it makes it even better. i would rate this climber a 4.5 out of 5.
