The best.....for you. I've learned one thing over the years here and other saddle hunting pages. What I love and what works best for me others hate. What others love I hate. You just have to search and keep trying new things until you find the perfect one for you.
I would argue that you are just doing it wrong.....hot girls need love too.they are even easyer when you figyer yhem out.dont settle for less.......or more in this case

My thing is… it’s light but you still need something to stand on at height. I’m not a ROS guy. I can tolerate standing on a stick, especially with a scout or small platform. So the weight savings isn’t much and the effort isn’t much less than 1-sticking. I suppose a platform like the pursuit could work but I’m happy for now.

Newbie to 2Tc here, I actually brought my one stick last hunt to use as a platform/backup climbing method if I failed...

The major initial advantage I see in 2tc (other than the safety/always tethered above you bit) is noise. Even using mechanical devices (CT rollnlocks) on both of my tethers, there's not really any way for them to touch each other and make that dreaded metal on metal noise, and even after a few years practicing one sticking I still occasionally will bounce a carabiner off of the stick when climbing.

Yes, if you like a ring of steps, it makes a world of difference. If you are going to carry something heavier going the one stick route makes a lot of sense since it gives you a built in platform of sorts.

Yes I have bumped my MR on the step before. Insert cringe. I just take my time now and I’m extra careful. Slow is quiet and smooth, better than fast and loud
