I have been wanting to try this for a long time and apparently I’m late to the game. Seems like a few guys are single sticking and adding platforms to the top. Instead of the stick I took one of my klemz platforms and added a two step aider based off of one Red Beard posted. It is phenomenal!
I climbed up several trees and it worked beyond expectation. I was worried the platform was going to be a problem maneuvering around but it was actually helpful as a grab bar and easy to climb over. The way the aider is designed and mounted it holds open without issue and is more like climbing a ladder than a traditional alternating aider. Bonus you can use either foot first without having to swing the foot loops around.
Just based off a couple hours of messing around I am looking at this being my go to method for everything. If you haven’t tried this I highly suggest it. I’m mad I didn’t do it sooner.
