I had a summit and did not like it also. The back pack straps had to be undone to get it to climp and then rethreaded to pack back out again. Seat was comftorable though. Bought a Lone Wolf Alpha sit and stand climber. Packed easier, weighed less, less hassle to get ready to attach to tree. Just un hook the bungy cords. Comftorable seat also. Cost more but was worth it.

When I have private property that was just mine to hunt and if I was fairly knowledgable about where the deer ran then I would look into a seat and 1/2 ladder stand. Only problem with ladders is that you do need two to get them set up easily. One can do it but it is a hassle. I also use ratcheting straps when attaching. Replace every other year.
