I have a question about these to everyone that has them. Are you at all concerned about they way the step is attached to the tube? Do you think it will hold up long term? It looks like a rivet in the pictures. Just wondering before I order them.

I don't see a weight rating on the tethrdnation.com website for Gen3 sticks.


They advertise 15.9 ounces with the ropes. I just got mine in and stealth stripped last night. They feel shockingly light. I do not have a scale accurate enough to do a proper weigh in.

I see the 15.9 oz weight, just not how heavy a load they are rated to hold. They're light no doubt.

Cool beans. As you can see, that is an update. Someone must have brought it up....

Might take some practice. I thought the aider was very unstable and wanted to twist to the side. I since went with the single step version that is adjustable. It seems pretty decent.

This is more true than I hoped. I have struggled the first 4 times I have used the GC-ONE Aider. Going up is OK, a little tricky descending. One of the issues with the One Stick is that there is really nothing to grab onto when descending, the Beast Sticks are easy to hold onto when climbing down.

I'm hoping it will get easier with a little more practice.

For me, when I use the 3 step it’s not leaving stick #1. The One’s just done have enough stand off room from the tree to give me confidence in my footing on an aider. In fact, after trying it a couple times I just opted for a 5th stick.

To me, it’s the 3rd step coming down that’s tricky… if the trees at an angle it’s not good at all. I just got a 2 step GC aider. I’m thinking it’ll be more stable with just the 2 steps, and possibly use it on the first 2 sticks.

Getting some use out my One Sticks, went with 4, only use the 3-step aider on the first step. My only complaint is the stacking pegs. I find it hard to stack in the dark and I have busted up my knuckles taking them apart at the tree. I am using vasoline on the pegs but getting them aligned in the dark takes some tinkering.

Same except I have the Gen 1 with original pegs. I cut them off & went to Double Claws.

I use these. Way better than the pegs… you use the bottom pegs only, then snap the top into the clip. They’re not 3d printed anymore. It’s a solid piece.
