Let's just say that your platform is going to be 15' from the ground. How long does it take you to get up that high with a climber? Do you climb really fast and get it over with, or go slow and try to be more quiet?

i go quietly, but i'm luck in that I can cover about 5' per climb. I put the climber above my head, pull up a few feet, then bring up the platform the rest of the way. I can be about 20' up in 2 - 3 minutes.

I try to be quiet climbing, and it isn't too hard. Its getting to the tree and getting the climber set up at the base of the tree where I make the most noise It doesn't take long at all to get 15' up quietly once your stand is secured to the tree.

I try to be stealth! slow and quiet but it still only takes me about less than 5 minutes once im at the tree I got all loc ons except for my summit still 5 minutes once im locked in and ready to climb!

I climb quietly, and it takes about 2 min or less to go up 20'..

The long part is getting hooked onto the tree.

im no help i hunt from teh ground i get a rush out of being eye to eye lets me know how much skills i really have

I take my time. I want to be quiet and I don't want to break a sweat!

It takes me 3-5 minutes. I try not to make too much noise or get too sweaty. I usually go up to about 20-25 feet.

This is about the same for me, but my summit takes no time to hook to a tree.

i climb slow and quiet...and also try not to overheat. but i still get to 15-20 foot in a couple minutes. 2-3 minutes probably depending on tree. cherrys with the loose bark is really tough to be quiet on so i really take my time when hunting trees like that..

like Josh, i also climb in big intervals..a good couple feet at a time. i will pull my top part pretty high and then pull up the bottom half with my legs...if i sit and climb, it takes longer and is slow goin..a foot at a time..i still sit...but first i kinda hang pull it up, stand and sit down..pull it up as far as it will possibly go and start over...dont know why i do it like that
