I was just wondering what the best climber is for the money?

I have used API, Summit, Lone Wolf and a couple others that I can't remember. For me, Summit climbers(particularly the Viper) provide the best balance of comfort, silence, safety, and portability.

i love my loggy bayou mega transformer

I agree with Vahuntr. I have only used one other brand other than my Summit Viper and WOW is there a difference. I went with the less expensive brand the first time and I am so glad I spent the money on the Summit.

Comfort is definitely the key, and you feel very secure in it. Its a well built stand, light, durable, and the company is great.

+1 Summit.

My opinion, Summit.

I've used all and used to sell them as well, and summit is fantastic, but they are quite expensive.

if you are purely looking for functionality and are on a budget, I wouldn't go with summit.

But i do own a summit goliath. Geez is it comfortable.

I have a Tree Lounger, Ol' Man, and a Summit Goliath. The Summit Goliath is by fat the safest feeling, most comfortable, and it has a great bite on a tree.

to keep getting the price raised.

Thank goodness my stand got made in the 90's. Can't raised the price on that baby, and it doesn't finish in the no. 1 class anymore. Newbies never heard of it.

Well, what stand is it?
