5 step etrier with tubular webbing girth hitched single stick style

[Wyatt_burp]

I tried climbing with a black diamond 5 step etrier with 1" webbing loop tied on to be able to girth hitch it to the tree. Slightly slower than single sticking, seriously lighter and less bulky. I usually single stick up and rappel down. I think I found my ultimate run and gun setup.

Legit man! Thought about doing this also. But I been using the predator and two step aider and it’s legit also! Do you get enough hight to actually use five steps after the first set?

I find 2-3 steps to be enough. I couldn’t teach high enough to use more than that.

Yeah, my backyard tree is a little bigger than a basketball and I can use 4 steps. Get similiar height to each single stick with my hawk helium.

Has anybody tried making an aider out of amsteel for this same purpose?

I’ve tried it but I did not like the space between the tree and the step. Made it difficult to get a good foothold without using my hands which was awkward to say the least.
