I have the Viper XLS. It will be the last climber you ever buy. You will not be disappointed.

Watch what you buy. Last week my local Bass-pro shops was selling a " summit viper classic" for $150.00. I knew something had to be up as it weighed 3# heavier than the normal viper. It turned out to be a welded steel stand. I verified the fact by hanging a magnet to the display model. If it matters to you, make sure you get welded aluminum. In my woods the steel would be rusted junk in no time flat.
