What type of tree stand is referred to as a "climber"?

A climber is a specific type of tree stand that is designed to allow hunters to ascend and descend trees easily. This stand consists of two pieces: a platform for the hunter to stand on and a seat that is attached to the tree. The unique feature of a climber is its ability to "climb" up the trunk of a tree by utilizing a system of straps and braces that grip the tree as the hunter ascends. This allows for greater mobility and flexibility in choosing hunting locations, enabling the hunter to adjust their height and position based on factors like terrain and visibility.

Unlike other types of stands, such as fixed or hang-on stands, which require the hunter to attach them at a specific height and remain in that location once set up, climbers are particularly advantageous because they can be moved and repositioned while in the field. This mobility aids in adapting to changing wildlife behavior or environmental conditions.
