Summit Viper vs. API Grandslam (any)
I'm very much in the hunt for a new climber beforebow season comes in. I know I have plenty of time, but I would like to have all my new gear ready to go and be familiar with it when it comes time to head to the woods. Last year I used a borrowed River's Edge and it was a stable and solid platform, but man was it ridiculously heavy and noisy, especially on cold days the metal would creak just from shifting your weight. Anyway, I was wanting to know if all the cool features on the Summit really are for real and is the extra money worth it in your opinion over any of the API Grandslams (except the Bowhunter, I want a stand-up, sit-down climber only)? How's the cable on the Summit in comparison to the chain on the API? Does the Quick-Draw on the Summit work as good as it seems it would?Which is easier to backpack and set up at the tree? Any details would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
