What’s the best climber for an old man? I’ve seen several positive posts about the Summit Goliath. Suggestions?

A sit and climb type is the easiest. I like Lone Wolf the best. Summit is good. I had an older API which would work.

I wouldn't mind trying a Lone Wolf or something like that, but I just feel solid in my summit viper.

Summit 180 max if you are taller and need more room.

Summit is the best, period. I’ve got six Vipers and two Goliaths. Love hunting from climbers, and I leave them in the woods during the season. Can’t beat em.


Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

There are other more comfortable & lighter stands out there but its hard to beat a summitt for safety / quietness . Cougar claws are a tad lighter & good safe stands also.

Summit 180 is my favorite. Don’t buy it though if you’re planning on killing anything. You fall asleep in it I promise.

I've had Ol Man treestands for 20 plus years and never had one slip an inch. The onky problem I have ever heard from them are people not putting the guard over the pins and them working themselves out.

I hunted out of ol man stands for 12 years or so. If you climb a red oak its gonna slip some but you learn to anticipate it. One year before the season came in I was checking my stands, hung it on a tree and put all my weight (220#) on the end of the bottom piece and the crimp on the cable broke...never climbed in another one.
Bought a couple summit Goliath stands and haven't looked back. Great stand. Very safe and comfortable enough to sit all day in.
