2TC/One Stick Hybrid Climbing

Coming to a youtube near you...

I am shooting for 20ft with 2 moves of the one stick, or 22-25ft with three moves. I have done it successfully a few times but I am refining the movements and gear before sharing. Nothing new or earth shattering, just a clumping together of two methods.

More to come.

C'mon @gcr0003, where's the goods? You know everyone here hates teasers... :tongueclosed:

It's almost as if you have... Dare I say... "a secret" o_O

No secret. It is 2TC + one sticking. Let’s just say I still have 4 weeks of season left :grimacing:
 
I’m trying to think this through in my head, but I’m guessing your either eliminating the aider on the stick by using 2TC foot tether or (more likely) standing up straight in a double foot stirrup to reattach the stick above you head instead of hanging from your tether for a much lower regular one stick method attachment?

The suspense is killing me though! Your public can’t wait 4 weeks!

You are headed in the right direction!
 
Use foot tether from ground to increase height of 1st stick attachment?

That seems logical, but I can't work out from there how 2TC comes in on 2nd move.

Correct so 8ft turns into at least 10ft easy from the ground or any where you stand. So I was getting around 18-20 ft in two moves. When you step on the one stick you detach the first tether. Connect your top tether and climb to the top of the one stick placing the tether at a reasonable height above your head like you normally would one sticking. Sit in the saddle and grab the stick and let it hang from your side. Step up with the footloop on the tether that you are already hanging from and place the one stick above the tether you are tied into as well as standing on. Place the other tether on the tree above the stick, clip in to it followed by un-clipping from the other tether. Climb the one stick like normal. Repeat as necessary.

Things that make this go quicker is have carabiners as the attachment method of your tether to the tree, and two bridges (though not necessary).

I’m deciding wether I want to have two prusik a on each tether with a movable foot loop or just one prusik on each tether and use the Garda footloop as necessary.

I’m refining it before showing it, but there really isn’t much to it. It is one stick climbing with two tethers.
