My first climber was one of the old Baker's. It was quite noisy and I eventually switched to a pin-mounted fixed position stand more than 10 years ago. This year, I just bought an Ol' Man climber and it's very quiet going up and absolutely silent when set. I have had some problems with noise during the walk in, but I am gradually finding the sources and eliminating the problems.

Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.
