    Ascending options for one sticking?

    But I would add, I doubt the Mammut’s ability to catch you, despite it’s design. Testing in the backyard once on my one stick it did fail (without a backup hitch) to engage and grab even though I was falling backwards and I went quickly to the ground. It’s like it just slid down the rope with me...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    This is getting easier. Not necessarily faster, but far less effort than it used to require, just like learning one-sticking goes. I was using an aider made of 1" tubular webbing stuffed with pex piping to keep it open. But it also really hurt the sides of my foot. I started using my my old...

    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    Sorry to come back to this, but are you all wearing RCHs over bibs or parkas in cold weather? I mostly gun hunt PA and NY. Freezing temps are common. I'm seeming most harness sizes give only 3" adjustment at the waist. I'm wondering if I would need a model that offers more room for lots of...

    Do you have a pic of this?

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    A plated aider on a climbing stick? That’s still one sticking imo.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Thanks, that’s helpful. The more I think about frozen trees I feel like it could just be a business for staying on the ground unless you rope climb.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Meaning just additional surface contact and not actually having a piece of hardware bite into the tree?

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Exactly. just a toe cap easily strapped on and easily removed.

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    @gcr0003 Ive been trying to brainstorm on an idea you mentioned a while back. Maybe modding a crampon with more underfoot structure by removing the studs and somehow installing a bolt straight out in front of the toes. But I doubt this plastic/rubber material is strong enough to take the kind of...

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Yeah that’s true. Most crampons I’m seeing have the studs right underfoot not in the front of the shoe

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    Not a bad idea. Crampons are cheap and lightweight. unless the concept flat out doesn’t work I don’t see that the squeeze would hurt

    Why don't yall 2TC?

    I KNOW this was discussed in this thread already but I can't find the answers... You very experienced 2TC climbers, what do you do with wet or slick trees? Seems to me like a slippery trunk precludes a climbing method where friction and stability are absolutely necessary. (It creeps me out to...

    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    That’s a tall statement

    Do you know what the bare saddle weighs?

    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    @BTaylor @HuumanCreed did feel your harnesses gave enough adjustment for layering up in cooler weather?

    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    @HuumanCreed Thanks, that makes perfect sense what you are saying.

    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    What RCH? And the leg straps didn't dig in hard or causing pinching when you leaned back to pull up the stick?
  19. Marmuzz

    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    Yeah, I mean you'd of course be wearing the safety belt with it, but with the hammock tightened on the tether so it helps distribute your weight. But are you saying you one-sticked up on the Killdeer harness alone?

    One-sticking or 2TCing in hammock-style saddle?

    Who has one-sticked or 2TCed up in full kit in a Dryad Drey? Or even for similarity, done those in a DIY fleece saddle + RCH? I don't mean who has worn a Dryad belt or RCH climbing up sticks, or who has just put on the hammock when at height. I want to know how it went wearing the hammock with...
