RE: Climber phase?
At one point in my hunting years I absolutely loved my climber. I would even climb if there was a stand around. I hunted every day, all season almost and loved it. Needless to say, i try and use it only when i have to now. I love being able to just sneak up in a tree w/out having to make any noise or scent up the area.
I will say though as manny before, my climber (summit razor) is the most comfortable stand ive ever been in.
