which CLIMBER?
I'm considering retiring my summit XLS which weighs 16lbs for a younger prettier and lighter stand. One thing I don't like about my XLS is that it likes to catch the back of my ankles and trip me. What I want in the new stand is:
1- equal or lighter weight 2- quiet (my XLS squeaks sometimes) 3- ease of use and set-up 4- ease of packing/unpacking I'm a lightweight so heavy duty is not a requirement. As I said in another post, I don't buy junk but at the same time I don't wanna spend more than 400ish for this stand. |

Not sure of your age,(cause its little seat ,and using your forearms to rest on the short seat)but I finally upgraded last year to a lone wolf climber,, it is AWESOME!!! cant believe I ever hunted without one,, light ,easy,packs flat,and can move through thick stuff without snags!and I can adjust it way up in the tree to get its platform nice and flat. (takes some pratice though) and a fall arrest system

I too have a lonewolf and love it. It certainly takes some gettin used to cimbing with (don't go out on opening day and try to use it in the dark) but it is a sweet stand.
Its light and packs flat so i can carry it on my back and then put my backpack on over it. Works out really well. Also its about a quiet as a climber gets... |

Loan oops Lone Wolf :) They are pricy but the sit and climb is the best in the business. talk about quite in the tree. Not a sound. and the sit and climb makes it almost too easy.

Would you guys say the Lone Wolf is "sturdier" than the Summit Viper. I think summit needs to address some weight and quietness issues with their stands. Sturdy as they come, but noisy to me. What do you guys say?

I think my Lone Wolf Alpha is right in there. I didn't care much for the sit and climb model. Super easy and quiet to set up. Packs very flat. You may want to take a look at it.

I hunted out of Summits for years and years, and still have a Cobra and a Viper. My Lone Wolf hand climber is just as solid as either, is lighter and folds flat.
