Im always trying to figure out a away to lessen the number of times I move my stick when 1 sticking. I watched a video of the LWCG fellas and their wire aider, and figured if I put that on top, I could use it as a handle to pull my stick up. Work great, and is slides down into the stick when im not using it. Allows me to use the full length of the stick to climb, instead of having to only use the bottom step due to the inability to reach the stick to move it. This can be applied to any stick I think.
Going to swap it out for a coated wire, but this is what it looks like:
