I actually have both Summit and API. They are both verynice stands. I honestly
cannot tell you which one iI likemore. We hunt on our own land and I keep them out in the woods
throughout the fall, and just take the seat off when I'm done hunting for the day. I would highly
reccommend either Summit or API. Can't go wrong.

Cudos to the Summits. I just bought a Viper. I already own a Goliath. I got one heck of a closeout deal at Gander Mountain on the Viper and couldn't resist. I don't know why I need two climbers.
I believe I am going to prefer the Viper because it is a few pounds lighter than the Goliath plus you climb by sitting on the bar not a strap.
Go with the Viper.

Add me to the list of Summit Viper users. I had never used a climber until I got one this last fall, and the Summit was pretty easy to use once I figured out what I was doing. I won't say that it is better than the all the others because I have not used any of them, but I will say that I love my Summit so far.

I've used an ol man for many years now. When I eventually need another stand it will be one of these three
Ol man
Timbertall
Treewalker
Light & cheap are 2 things that don't go together when talking treestands.

Summit climbers all the way, i have been using them for at least 8years. Just got a new one this year.
If your looking for cheap, try ebay or craigslist, might find one slightly used for cheap. Also, stands should be going on sale now, its the best time to buy.
