RE: How difficult should a climber be?
i have a summit x4. hunters view hawk and an ol man.
ol man gets the nod all around,just got it this year and love it.
the other two are good but just not ol man good.
summits are noisierclimbing and setting up,the cables shrink wrap wears off fast.and i need to get rid of the stirrups i hate those things .going back to straps i climb quieter and have better control but good comfy stands .
the hunters view is heavy but comfy and quiet .
they all take aboutfifteen minutes toget up the tree and ready to hunt.
