The guy says he just started hunting. he bought the stand on advice, and quickly found out he was scared of them and heights.

HH,
I've never climbed with a summit stand (I use a API climber) but I must ask, why is he selling his stand. If he is quitting hunting I can understand selling his stand, if he needs medicine for the baby I could understand selling his stand, if the stand aint worth a dang I could understand selling the stand. <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
Seriously though, if he is still into hunting I would really want to know why he's selling the stand. I reckon there could be a good reason for selling one's deer stand other than it's a piece of junk, I just haven't thought of one yet. Then again I'm pretty cheap when it comes to parting with my hunting gear, I've still got 2 pairs of camos and a jacket that is over 20 yrs old. I still got my first climber also, a home made job I put together back in 1983 that weighs 36 lbs. Heavy as all get out but real comfortable once you get up the tree.

Regards to using a climber, I use mine about 70% of the time when I'm hunting. Nothing better than getting up out of a deer's line of sight and minimizing your scent. I will stay on stand alot longer when in my climber verses sitting the ground.
Good luck.
