EWO Ultralight stick for one-stick climbing

Here is @onestringer contraption:

High end sticks

On the completed stick, I don't see an option for choosing, only if you diy can you choose to have the anodized finish or not. I guess it's up to you, if you want to leave as silver or paint it with rustoleum. The anodized is more pretty is what it comes down to and should wear better than diy...

Cam cleat is the only way to go with a one stick.

Google cam cleat. Amazon. Rhonstan.
Make sure it’s specs are correct for your weight and the rope you use. Cam cleats vary

That was kinda the point. If you don’t know what the current “accepted” (and I use accepted loosely) standard for using Amsteel in this manner (for the cam cleat) then you need to learn the standard or not use Amsteel in this manner. I think he was trying to be informative. Someone will correct me if I’m wrong but I believe you have to essentially run the Amsteel back through itself completely for it to act as a rope that would work with the cam cleat. I believe this came about when tethrd introduced adjustable Amsteel bridge on their phantom saddle. That bridge and the prussic has to be ran through itself to build it up enough for it to bite enough like regular rope would. I think this is because Amsteel is a hollow braid. Again this is super high level and loosely accurate at best.

Yes, Amsteel works best under this what was described. There are other rope options that can be used though.

I think others have had luck with 1/4 inch Amsteel and not doing what I described. I just think it will become too flat and could result in possible issues.

Here is a video on part of it... The bury described just takes up the rest of the rope.

Not sure if this is just something that the Carl from Tethrd is playing around with or if they actually plan to release this to market at some point, but I got to see this stick in person at the STL TNT event. They had a 13" and 14" version, but since it is just 1" tubing a person could make them to whatever length they want. Carl said it was intended for one sticking and used as his platform as well. He had a multi-step aider attached to the bottom step and with his oplux repel line he was coming in just over 2lbs for his setup. He also had a cool looking fabric wrap that secured everything around the stick for a very light and compact package.

Hah nope not on any tree in my yard. Sadly that tree is pretty much the only one I can get any kind of tree climbing strap around. Doesn’t make for good practice in the yard.

Yup...I saw this there as well. I offered to buy it from him but was flat turned down. I have the EWO headed to me and will put my scout platform on it.
