Keep in mind you are limited by the maximum attachment point of the sticks, so the best you can do per stick is going to be around +-7 ft, depending on your height and reach.I love a CAYG one step aider. Doubtful you could get 25ft with 3 sticks though.
I have a black diamond five step aider. you clip it on climb up to the stick, un-clip it and move to the next one.
Where and how do you clip it?
A piece of climbing webbing tied for 2 steps. This gets moved as I climb my 3 unmodded Heliums and ties nice around the sticks for noiseless, tight packability.

Dave is that to the top of the third stick or platform height?My CAYG aider. I can get 21 foot easily with my 3 modified sticks
platform.... I can get 19 1/2 top of third stickDave is that to the top of the third stick or platform height?
DIY aider. Top of stick is 8’ so with 3 LW sticks I get to around 25’. I’m 6’1” so your height is based on how high you can put your stick.
I like the idea and how easy it looks. I hope to give this a try once I get my saddle in.

How long is your aider and spacing distance? I’m 6’1” with decent stretch the most I can get with 24 in aider and 22 in step spacing is 18 ft. Not calling bs, but am I missing something?
I just measured it and the hook is 34.5” from the ground. The reason it works is because the bungee pulls away from the body and is hooked on the stick by your hand. If you go in the kitchen you will see that if you lean back you can get you foot on the 36” counter. Once you are hooked on the bottom step it is easy cause your other foot aider goes on the middle step. The really nice thing is that because of the bungee the hooks come off the steps all by themselves as you go up the tree. The top of the stick in the video is right at 8’. You can reach up and put the stick as high as possible. I hated movable aiders and figured it was pointless to mess with a 6 step aider so I made something different.
