RE: best climber!!!
I've tried several and have a Summit also, but the best comfort, light weight climber I have is based on the old Buckshot design a lot like the old Warren & Sweat climbers. It faces the tree, making a handy rest for shooting also, and the tree gives you a lot of camouflage.

Had an API for years and loved it but I left it outside all winter and the chains rusted a little. Instead of spending 45$ for repalcement chains, I bought a summit bushmaster from cabelas for 150$ on sale. At first I didnt think it climbed as smooth as the API but with a little practice this summer, I get up & down pretty easily now. Its also more comfy a little quicker to set up.

RE: best climber!!!
I got me a timber cruiser and am just now learning how to use it. It's not that bad but I need to practice climbing some more and practice packing it in and out before I head out with it to hunt. It's a Field and Stream Elite Light or something or other. It weighs 21 pounds but doesn't feel like it. These climbers are pretty cool!
