I broke out a new climber today that I bought last year and never used. Even with the safety strap, that thing scares me. I can't imagine going higher than about 12 to 15 feet with it. I hunt alone and the thought of hanging from a stand by the safety strap for hours is horrible to imagine. I much prefer my ladder stand with a bigger platform and that is securely lashed to the tree while I climb.
I have a half dozen ladder stands. I won't purchase the ones without a "shooting rail" either. That way when a person takes a siesta they will still be in the stand when they wake up and not closing with the ground at 32 feet per second per second.
I have mostly Big Game Stealth Deluxe, but also have a couple Warrior Deluxe and they are solid. I buy a couple after the season when they go on sale every year. They don't have that large of a platform, but they work well for us.
