I have used a Summit Viper climber the lastseveral of years and loved it, primarily for comfort and safety, but last winter I got a deal on a Lone Wolf Alpha hang on and a set of three of the climbing sticks so I bought them thinking there may be a time when I could use them. During my vacation this Nov. I gotSOsick and tired of climbing up and down the tree every day with that climbing stand I decided totry the newhang-on. What a joy!! I love that stand and the climbing system. The strap and versa-button make installation easy and quiet, but most of all.... it's completely ready to go the next day! The climber will still be used when I am only going to be hunting an area occasionally, but if I'm going in there everyday the only way to go is with a hang-on.

Edit: I can put the Lone Wolf up in about the same timeas I can climb with my Summit(but... I am a slow climber because I am afraid of heights)
