Just curious but if someone were to accept your challenge, would you be racing with or without your aider?
Thanks!

As much as I am liking your steps. I'm going to say "Ummm Spurs?"

Got a little better with tying the steps today and keeping them rock solid! Definately would recommend them for a platform!
Got mine today but only had time to do one. Going to work on it and get them stretched tomorrow. First one took a few to get tension right but was rock solid once I did.

Got my stepps the other day, love how solid they are, but aider scares me! Going up wasn't bad but coming down was no picnic. Getting foot in loop, no fun! Left mine around tree all night to stretch out.
The more I use mine with the aider the more I feel like the petzl quickstep or similar style foot aiders would work better. It would stay on your foot so you would have to use the same leg all the way up. It may wear quickly between your boot and the stepps you are standing on. If you put your foot through it almost to your heel it shouldn't ever touch the stepp. The biggest benefit would be when climbing down. You could just move your biner down one step then slowly ease down until the aider gets tight. No trying to fish your foot through it but once before you go up or down. I'm considering taking a loop of 1/4" bungee and sliding it down tight against my boot with the wild edge aider. The way it adjusts you would also have to adjust the loop every time you adjust the aider length. It's a great concept and a good use of materials they already have on hand but I don't think it is the best aider for the application.
I would make sure you are an expert at using the stepps before you think about using the aider. The stepps are great but there is a learning curve. Things can go wrong with the aider very quickly if you don't have the stepps on right.
Yes we are working on a few new designs and materials that I know you guys will really like! We are also working on the platform attachment for the SteppLadder that you all have been looking for! I will post updates as we get closer. I also wanted to let everyone know that all of our ropes are custom made right here in our shop so if anyone is looking for any custom rope for bridges or any of your needs just shoot me an email at sales@wildedgeinc.com! I can make you anything you need!
The saddle is on a stand still right now. The company i was working with on the production the saddle fell through and we are now looking into other avenues.
This sounds like an event for Saddlepalooza! @g2outdoors make it happen
To clarify I wasn't accepting your challenge. I was wondering if you are faster with or without the aider.
Absolutely faster with the Aider. With the aider I would guess that I could climb 30 feet in less than 5 minutes. If i find I have 5 spare minutes one of these days (slim chance!) I will record it.
If you go hunt down in Georgia with G2, he'll record ya!
On a more serious note, I'd love to see the video too.
Keep up the good work, you have a great product in those Stepps.

And you might just end up on a future episode of SaddlehunterTV. Hint hint.

@redsquirrel dropping hint bombs!
@SteppsbyWildEdgeInc is already sponsoring SaddlePalooza 2018 so we'll have some Stepps there for everyone to try out. Now if Andrew could just find a way to attend the event and race @redsquirrel up a tree, we'd be set!!!

The race needs to include their new platform too!
