Since I posted this I have used my climber many times, sitting in it from about 5:30 - 10:00 am or so, and it's been comfortable. It does get cold in FL no matter what others think... I was in it at 25* with ice everywhere. Very enjoyable to be up there, sitting or standing comfortably, and being able to move it on a whim is great too.

Unfortunately, I have only seen one deer from it, a nice big doe 50 yards out, but next year will better

My buddy has the same stand, only it's steel. He didn't know how heavy his was until he accidently grabbed my aluminum stand. Glad I sprang for the extra $.

I hope to come back to this thread again after hunting season opens back up with a pic of something I've shot from it.
