RE: summit climbing stand
IMO the Summit Viper is the best climber out there. If you want me room get the Summit Goliath. I'm 235 and the Viper is just right but the Goliath would afford more room. Having owned aLone Wolf Sit & Climb,I will admit it is an excellent stand thatpacks a little better and is a tad quieter when climbing. However I found that it did not bite as well as the Summit nor was it any where near as comfy. In the end I sold the LW Sit & Climb.
