RE: treestand that is easy to climb
I would recommend the Summit Viper XLS or the Lone Wolf Sit & Climb. I have used both stands but have went back to using the Summit exclusively. The Lone Wolf was a great stand, and actually climbed a little easier, but it was just a tad bit small for me.

Viper XLS is my vote too. The bar gives a seat for climbing and an added measure of safety too. But never climb without using a full body harness. All the Summit stands come with a very good one. The Seat-o-the-Pants.

No one mentions the Summit Cobra XLS (for a bow hunter) - any comments?
Does the bar on the Viper get in the way?

The bar actually makes me feel safer, so I like it. Plus, it is a place to sit while climbing.
