There is definitely a focus on retrieving the lower stik here.
For a time I ran a seperate line with whuch I gave a pull up to remove tension on the stik then unsnap the tree rope out of the cleat and let it go using the first line to bring the stik up.
This eliminated the need to bend and reach down. It involves longer cords and works. There is a little cord management involved.
I got rid of the seperate cord and just climb up with the long end of my rope mod coming with me.
As soon as I am well into the aider I hook my toe on the stik and dislodge it and then tug to unclip.
The stik dangles free and up it comes on the rope mod. Reset.
