ABSTRACT:
A vertical columnar member climbing device having an upper climbing assembly and a lower climbing assembly connected by a pair of elastic connectors. The climbing device provides a frame and a step pivotally attached to the frame. A cable extends outwardly from the frame and extends around the vertical columnar member and is spring biased to tighten around the columnar member thereby securing the upper climbing assembly to the columnar member. The upper assembly may be pivoted outwardly away from the tree with the step being pivoted downwardly to operate as a diagonal brace intermediate the upper climbing assembly and the vertical columnar member with a separate strap extending outwardly from the frame around the columnar to further secure the upper climbing assembly to the tree. A sling is suspended from the upper climbing assembly above the lower climbing assembly to support a user. An umbrella may be rotated outwardly from the upper climbing assembly and a plurality of camouflaged shields may be suspended therefrom for shielding the user from the environment.
