I already know the answer to this but a local store has the steel vipers on sale for 169. I can buy two vipers for the price of one goliath. I'm 6'3 260lbs would the viper be too cramped for me?


We will burn that bridge when we get there

I would say yes. Great climber but I'd go with the Goliath or Titan if you are over 6 foot or over 200 pounds.

Viper too small imo.

You would probably fit in the Viper, but would be cramped and wishing the whole time you had bought the much lighter and more roomy Goliath.

Even if you don’t need the space the Goliath makes for better sittin.

I've never sat in the Goliath but you know how big I am and I think the viper is fine. Then again when I bow hunt I barely sit down, so I guess it doesn't matter much.

I wouldn’t get the steel climber. Once you go light nothing else feels right.
The 180 summit is my go to.

For these situations I actually put a lock on up top and leave a rope hanging with the prusik too. Gives me options for, movement, backpack and stuff, quick up.
