This has got to be the BEST climbing method out there.
You could purchase a boat style rope ladder with plastic steps and hook it to a tether to do something similar. If used with a buck squeeze it would be impossible to fallThat's cool, can you do a close up of the Sladder?
You could make a simple tree squeeze with a 24" climb rated loop, girth hitch it to one side of your LB and biner it to the other side.You could purchase a boat style rope ladder with plastic steps and hook it to a tether to do something similar.

What is he standing on at the top of each move? Some sort of double sloot loop? I’m confused. Is this you in the video?
Yes that is me. I call them stirrups... takes my weight off the ladder part of the system so I can raise the bottom and attach it above.
How do you disconnect the bottom when standing on the top?
Or you could use the linesman rope with a carabiner on each side and hook your bridge into the carabiner. Instead of being stuck on your lineman’s loops the whole climb, you’re on your bridge. Of course the longer the bridge the more comfortable it would be. Hang the rope ladder on a tether high as you can reach, put the ladder inside your linesman rope or bridge then clip into the tree squeeze. Climb as high as the squeez can get to the tether holding the ladder, side step off sit knees to the tree and pull the up and rehang to heightYou could make a simple tree squeeze with a 24" climb rated loop, girth hitch it to one side of your LB and biner it to the other side.
What's the hook part?
I like it and find it interesting. Especially the disconnect system once you explain it more.
Yea it’s similar to the old Japanese rope climbers. Weldabeast uses a system very very similar to this. It’s pretty neat and doesn’t require much gear to doPeople have climbed with multi-step aiders or rope ladders in the past but, there are a couple things that seem to make this unique. There is a foot loop on both the top and the bottom of the ladder. When he climbs to the top he steps into the foot loop, somehow disconnects the bottom and then just flips the aider so the bottom is now the top and starts climbing again. The only thing I can't figure out is how he detaches the bottom from the top?
