hi, i am looking for the smallest( most compact)lightest, quietest climber available.
i know this is a tall order, to try and find all those features in one product.

our deer do not pattern here-we move around in the thick bush until you find sign, the find a likely spot and start to call- and they can arrive from any direction- and you get busted more often than not- thinking that getting just up and above their line of sight- might help a lot.
spend maybe an hour or so in a spot, then move along to the next spot

thanks in advance

LW hand climber

I use a Summit Specialist.

Best lightweight climber I've ever used.I have accessory bags attached to the side, I can pack everything I need in them with the stand. It's light and quick to set up.

Hands Down, Lone Wolf.

Another for the Lone wolf.

Another vote for the Lone Wolf. Worth every penny!

Another vote for the Lone Wolf Hand Climber here...it is just what you are asking for.  I switched from my summit viper this year to the Lone Wolf and there two different deals.

I like you was researching and looking for something better and couldn't believe that the Lone Wolf was as good as the reviews....well IT IS.

looked at the lone wolf video- looks very simple and quick- just something i need to get  8 or  10' up a tree- quickly and quietly!

Another vote to Lone Wolf, it is a great stand

I use a Lone Wolf sit and climb.  It's light, easy to pack and quiet.

I have a buddy that has the summit viper HD and loves it. But I do not like the way it does not fold up. It takes up half the room in the back of my toyota 4runner. If we both had one I would need a roof or bumper rack.

The Lone Wolf is all I've used for the past 15 years. Wouldn't consider anything else. It has stood the test of time.

Lonewolf hand climber.  I've used Summit, API, saddles, etc.  The Lonewolf Hand climber is the best stand for use with a recurve or longbow.  

Make sure you watch the youtube videos and learn the little tricks with using the bungee for allowing your top section to act as a fold up seat, etc.

Guido's Web and 2 climbing sticks. 10 ft. up and You can shoot any direction.

Lone Wolf hand climber......best I've used.

Again Lone Wolf Hand climber

Lone wolf for me also... But I often alternate between a sit and climb (long sits), or the hand climber (farther away from the truck sit) or the alpha hang on and three or four sticks (new place and no idea of what trees available).

Love my Lone Wolf stands...

I bought a Summit Specialist last hunting season because all I do is bow hunt and wanted something
light. The only criteria you asked for that it can't provide is quietness. This aluminum is without a doubt the loudest I've ever encountered. Any little twig it comes in contact with turns into clatter. Looks like the Lone Wolf may reign king!

I know your talking climbers but I use lone wolf assault hang on with lone wolf climbing sticks and I feel it is as good or in my situation better than any climber.  It all fits together and then straps onto my pack very easily and extremely light plus I can put it up in trees that you couldn't put a climber in makes it more versatile. It really is easy and fast to put up. Each climbing stick has only one strap then the stand 2. Now I'm afraid of heights so at most I 15 feet up lol. Maybe it would be slower if u went higher but for I think it is as fast as my climber.
Just my opinion and another thought for u to consider

Tried several and another strong vote for LW.
