Hi All,
I have hawk helium sticks/amsteel daisy chain with black diamond ladder aider . Been practicing climbing on pine trees without any issues. Sticks are rock solid when locked.
Recently came across a good spot with poplars
The sticks don't seem to bite into the bark well. Grooves on the bark don't seem to be large enough for stick teeth fit in.
Stick holds ok with downward pressure(once I lock it by jerking down), however any upwards or side pressure (even a lightest touch) simply moves the stick.
Curious, if there are any remedies for it ?
Am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks in advance
