Thanks for the video Fawnzy. After watching it all my previous impressions were validated. It makes even the most cumbersome strap on steps look simple. I will admit it's probably free of any metalic noise though.
I can't imagine trying to get my feet in those loops in the dark. Let us know if it gets any easier to use with more practice.
I imagine this would be a lot easier if you just had it in a sling bag on your front and just pulled it out as you went up instead of the over the shoulder craziness.
Just a quick observation it seems when descending there is the potential to put your feet into the loops on the part over your shoulder. I might be wrong but it looked like it could possibly happen.
What is ARC's selling point for this rope ladder? It can't be light weight, ease of use, quickness of set up or safety. They must think there's some advantage to it...
Give it some time. Watch the video. He gets up pretty fast. That was only my second attempt. It’s quiet, secure, and a simple concept. I’m not going to shelve it yet. I’ll try it some more first before making a final judgement. Look at how many guys didn’t like spurs until they had a few climbs.
Not for me. I'll stick with my Lone Wolf sticks with aiders and Wild Edge steps with aiders and Reds climbing aider. If your happy with it that's all that matters . Everyone uses what they like and feel comfortable with if you like it keep using them.
Just now took the time to watch this video. Concept is fascinating. I am wondering if it wouldn't be easy to install with seperate aiders rather than one long piece. You would lose the advantage of the bottom being stabilized but you would not be dragging that up the tree. Trying to imagine climbing up a rough tree with a lot of branches and I would think this would be a rodeo. But I could be wrong.... I am not making fun of it I just don't see it being a practical way to get up any and every tree. Especially rough, forked and branched trees which I personally love. Steps/sticks give you the ability to switch sides of the tree or manuver around branches.
