Welcome to the site. I'm more than likely going to hunt from the ground more this year or fixed stands because climbing with my climber is hard on my old bod,joint issues. I have heard mostly good things about the Summit climbers so I'm sure it will serve you well. Wear your harness always,they can be a pain at times but the pain they cause is nothing in comparrison to falling from 15 to 20 feet up. Take care and good hunting this year.
