how hard is it to use a climber. and any ever use the Summit Goliath
Very easy learn....much easier going up, however. Once you get a deer down it is difficult not to rush yourself coming down. 
Basically, climbers involve a stand up, sit down method...cleats on the back of the stand keep it from sliding down the tree.You'll get it quickly. I've used lots of climbers and the Goliath is the most comfortable all-day stand I've ever used. Highly recommended! Good Luck.
