I just got my Kestrel yesterday so I decided to practice this afternoon on a hickory tree in my yard. I have had my Wild Edge Steps for a month or so and previously felt pretty good at them. I climbed up about 20 feet and started to set my 3 step wild edge platform. That was much trickier 20 feet in the air!
Some of my steps were not as locked down as well as I thought once my full weight were on them! I had 2 of them rock a little. Once I reached my height and got out my tether and bridge, it was a little spooky unhooking the linesman belt. I set my tether at head high, but my bridge felt too long there, so I need to work on that....
Going down with the aider is tricky....
Lesson learned: I need to practice with the Kestrel just above the ground and setting steps below me, above me, to the side, etc.
