RE: Climing Stand
Don't be afraid to try ebay. You can buy new and from reputable sellers. I bought all of my Lone Wolf's there and the transaction was easy, no sales tax, and I received the items with 3-4 days.
I would second that the Summit is comfortable. I don't know if heavy is the right word for it. Maybe a bit bulky. The issue with the Summit is the way the braces and cables extend from the vertical plane when packing. I also have a Lone Wolf sit-n-climb and (2) Lone Wolf assaults with climbing sticks. If you are in terrain that has thick underbrush then the Lone Wolf is the only way to go as it fold flat. Plus it is much lighter.
If you are in the market for hang-on's the LW assault and climbing sticks are superb. In fact, I almost like them better than a climber as they are more versatile when setting up in a not so perfect tree or a tree with extra foliage on it.
Good luck with your purchase.
