Outdoor Channel Reviews Summit Tree Stand Climbing Viper SD
Hunter Cory Yarmuth wasn’t a fan of climbing tree stands until he saw the Summit Viper SD. “Weighing in at 20 pounds [its] one of the lightest climbers around,” said Yarmuth. “Climbing with the stand was easy and the adjustments on the climbing cables were simple and quiet. I was able to get much higher in the tree than with a standard hang-on or ladder stand.” Welded aluminum construction results in a tree stand that quieter to climb, and the adjustable seat, cushioned armrests, and padded climbing seat bar makes it “the most comfortable stand that I have had the pleasure to use.” Because of the Viper SD’s versatility, Yarmuth was able to harvest an impressive 8-point buck—the real reason why he recommends this climbing tree stand to everyone.

What would have been the talk of the Archery Trade Association (ATA) Show this year, if it wasn’t canceled due to COVID-19, is the all-new Summit Viper Pro SD aluminum climbing stand and Dual Axis Hang-on stand.
