Summit, API, or Lonewolf!

RE: treestand that is easy to climb
 

Lone Wolf, Summit, Ol Man, Loggy Bayou and there are others. Being 13, I would suggest a good quality stand that is lightweight. I love my Lone Wolf, but because its expensive you might want to opt for a Summit Cobra or Bushmaster along with an Ol Man Original.

RE: treestand that is easy to climb
 

I would highly recommend a Summit. They are built like tanks and a breeze to climb a tree with, not to mention they are pretty light compared to other manufacturers stands.

I just switched from a Loggy Bayou to a Summit and could not be happier. They also have what I feel is the best tree attachment system on the market. Absolutely bomb proof.

RE: treestand that is easy to climb
 

I would definitely cast my vote for the Lone Wolf Sit & Climb combo. Very lightweight, quiet and sturdy. As Cougar Mag mentioned, might be a little pricey for a young hunter(provided that you are an average 13 year-old from the average american family). If price is not an obstacle, about $160, you may be challenged to find a better stand.

Price correction. A new Sit & Climb Combo will retail for around $330. The Alpha Hang On is in the $160 range, new. I stand corrected !

SUMMIT VIPER, I HAVE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS AND JUST LOVE IT REAL EASY TO CLIMB AND QUIET TOO, HOPE THIS HELPS.

RE: treestand that is easy to climb
 

Another vote for Summit. I have a Viper XLS. It's easy to climb. I'm 260lbs and it ain't all muscle. If it's easy for me, it's easy for most any one.

Summit Viper here also

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.

RE: treestand that is easy to climb
 

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?

RE: treestand that is easy to climb
 

On the viper you can adjust the seat to be high or low. You put the seat high for bow hunting so the bar will be lower and out of the way.

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

RE: treestand that is easy to climb
 

Just part of the reason I like my Lone Wolf Alpha sit-n-climb.....the bar is used for climbing and can be swung down underneath for an open front, used for a gun rest or arm/bow rest.

summit for me too. i am 280, and can get to my hunting height easily with my goliath. feel pretty safe up there also!
