RE: New climber Question?
I don't know if you've read too much on here if "everyone" said Lone Wolf was the best. If you haven't tried a Summit, I would highly recommend one before you buy any climber, regardless of brand. IMO, there is no beating a Summit. They are all welded construction, very comfortable, lightweight, and very tough. Being welded, they are virtually silent with no nuts and bolts to rattle. A friend of mine uses Loggy Bayou, and they are very clangy because of the joints with bolts. I'm not familiar with the Timber Tall, but you can get the newest Summit Viper SS for $100 less, and that's in Cabelas. Get it from a store, and no shipping, so you are cheaper yet, and for a better stand. You get a bigger platform with the summit, more room on the top section, better climbing system with the stirrups, and with money left over to buy more toys. I know this is just my opinion and take it for what it's worth, which may be nothing! Good luck in your stand search. There are plenty to choose from.
