    I am 58 and haven't hunted from a tree stand for 15 years. I have had many tree stands over the years...climbers...ladder and hang ons. I went in looking for a hang on and ladder stand. I hunt private property but theft is still a problem where I am.

    I browsed the selection of stands and this Summit Viper SD caught my eye. I went online and did some reseach and decided to buy it.

    An hour later I was home and 20ft in the air...just that easy. It comes out of the box ready to climb and has a DVD to watch that talks about saftey.

    I found this to be very quiet and most importantly comfortable. They have done a great job designing this stand so you can sit and stand up w/o making a sound.

    I shoot a crossbow now and cocking the bow in the stand was no problem at all.

    Right now I can't find any cons to this climber. It packs nicely....easy to set up, comfortable, and climbs easily.

    I was on the hunt for a new treestand this year. I did a lot of research on several different set ups and designs. This stand caught my eye by the new dark color that blends in well with early season and the new sd. After speaking with [...] a summit rep it sounded like an awesome new stand. So i got it. I couldnt wait to take it out and climb [...] The stirups are assembled but not tight, the bungie cord is already on but you have to assemble the seat along with the cables. Not hard couple mins but i was under the impression it was ready to hunt just pull it out and go. Another thing is the weight position from the treestand on your back is very uncomfortable. I tryed for hours to modify the straps and seat so that it wouldnt be uncomfortable for me to carry just didnt work. Very bulky stand like all summits i guess its the design. Overall I will be taking this stand back and replacing it with an ol'man that I am more familar with. I just couldnt see carrying the viper to my stand and through a lot of brush without getting it caught up and working up a sweet.Im 25 and athletic this stand may be better for big men or older. You might like it but it was to bulky and very uncomfortable for me to carry even just walking around my yard.[...] Good Luck this year...

      yall stop complaining like a bunch of girls about the paint! I have owned and used over 20 climbers between 2010 and 2013 and this is by far the best one. 2nd to none against all leading climbing stands. i can easily sit all day long. with this stand only weighing 14 lbs, it only takes about 5-6 stretch climbs to get 15-20 ft. easy to get in and out of area an it is easy to adjust while in the tree. very quite, very comfortable. will not use another climber as long as i hunt!

        I am a first year hunter. I opened the box and there was paint rubbed off from shipping and chips all over the stand. I was disappointed but the stand works great. It was easy to set up and climb. i read other reviews on other stands this one was the smart choice.

              Bought this climber several years back. First day, had it working in notime. The second year I added; side and front bags, foot rest, surround seat, gun and bow racks, foot pad, and a thermal stand cover (used when in stand). I also bought a waterproof cover and cable lock. I leave it there all the time, everything stores within itself, still easy to carry in and set-up, and use, cover keeps seat and parts dry from snow and rain. I have a bad back and can stay in this stand ALL day. Best dang treestand ever!!!

                This was a gift from my wife for Christmas. I normally hunt public land with ladder stands, where when you want to move to a different spot it was alot harder than you wanted. First time out, the straps could be padded but worked just fine, got to a area never hunted,found signs of movement in the area. Going up it climbed up just fine to about 25 feet above their eyes. It was so comfortable ,I was able to sit out for 6 hours, no problem. I was worried about the climb down, but it was as easy as the climb up. Over all, this was very stable and safe. This was my first time using a climber and it was awesome. One thing I did notice there was alot of chips in the paint and dont know how they all got there. But overall, thanks Summit for a awesome product, now I cant wait for next year.
