RE: good climbers??
If you're in the market for a Summit....and you can wait a week or so.....I bought a (I think) backpacker SS a month or so ago that's never been in a tree (It's the EXACT same stand as the Viper.....except it has the ability to fold flat for packing). I bought htis stand because my son wanted a new one, this year....and I loved the Viper I already owned. The one I have has the Summit Skin already attached.
RobPA's coming down to NC to hunt for a couple of days....and I'm ready to see this 'Ol man stand. If it looks like something I'd like to try......I'll sell the Summit for a VERY reasonable price (again...it's never been in a tree).
