    I bought a Summit Viper this year. Love the stand but it is bulky. It feels more like 40 pounds rather then what ever it's advertised weight is. I'll be looking at the Lonewolf Hand climber with the sit strap in the future.

    Ive got the summit goliath and havent had any problems with it. Holds up me and im a pretty big guy.The only reason i would want a lone wolf is for the bigger standing platform.

    I have a summit viper and like it, except for the fact that it's bulky. However, that bulkiness also makes it very comfortable. I read somewhere on here that someone else had a summit viper and bought a lone wolf as a second climber. He said the lone wolf wasn't quite as comfortable, but it felt a ton lighter than the viper, which more than made up for it being less comfortable. However, he did say that if he plans on doing an all-day sit, he would use the summit viper. Hope this helps you.

    Belated Happy Birthday! You will not regret buying a LW sit and climb. "There's the best, and there's all the rest".
