Well a climber and a blind are gonna make the same amount of noise in the morning truthfully. I have one of those big summits, and even though it is comfy and i usually go pretty high with it (dont have the fear of heights) its still not that quiet. I mean its quieter then alot of other climbers but it still makes noise and i have defiantly scarred some deer off using that thing.

A top of the line pop up blind that just pops open might be the best for you if you considering between the two. However, i have a friend thats scared of heights and bowhunts with me, i actually found that Ladder stands tend to make him feel more comfortable then fixed positions or climbers. Having climbed hundreds of trees in my day i will say climbers can be a little nerve racking at times, especially coming down. If you have a solid fear of heights id go ground blind or Ladder stand, that or get a big boy fixed position stand and use climbing sticks. But i think noise is gonna be about the same all the way around if your setting up in the dark the morning of.
