So, I have mentioned in a few posts that I’m using a bolt aider. I’ve had enough PMs about it that I figured I should just create a post.
So, this isn’t my creation. [mention]flinginairos [/mention] did a video about it and [mention]kyler1945 [/mention] turned me on to it this season.
I made an Amsteel aider for [mention]Nutterbuster [/mention] and then made a video to explain how to use it.
I have since revised the aider that I am using. The girth hitch made my instep sore, so now I’m using a hollowblock footloop girth hitched to my Amsteel aider.
This method is so much more secure than any other aider I have ever tried because the aider runs down and across the tree, effectively locking your foot to the tree.
As always, climbing is dangerous. Don’t do this if you aren’t sure of your comfort with the method.
