My Review 

Best climber I have used in my 63 years, 40 deer hunting.

Construction is great and it's noise free. It doesn't slip due to two rows of teeth, the weight is reasonable, and it has a great strap system for carrying. The seat faces the tree or can quickly be moved to face away from tree, the back rest/gun rest accessory is fabulous (back rest when facing tree, gun rest when facing away from tree).

This stand can be started at any angle and adjusted to level at any time with crank handle on each section, which is unique to this model.

I face the tree 75% of the time and use the tree for camo cover and to block sun, wind, snow. Leveling system is wonderful since I don't have to start the climb at a steep angle and hope it is level when the tree gets thinner. I can think of no way to improve on this stand... and I have had plenty!
