Aider for lone wolf sticks?

[Mattyq2402]

I haven't come across a video yet, anyone able to li k me to a video on using an aider to get up higher using LW? I am on a super cheap budget so it may make more sense to go the route which I already have the sticks.

Where and how do you attach? Can u use the piece that G2 showed on his video this week, believe it's a swaider?

I have 32" Lone Wolf sticks and a five step aider. I put the LW up as high as I can and put the aider on the second step. I climb the aider up to the first step of the LW remove the aider climb to the top step of the LW put my next LW as high as I can, put the aider on the second step and so on. If I remember correctly I get 8-9 feet per stick. I've only played with this once because I just got the aider but I plan on practicing this more this off season. Be safe!

Just got lw sticks. Looks like i will be ordering a 5 step aider. Which one do u have? Do u like it?

I use a 4 step aider on lone wolfs I cut down to 24”. I made an extension out of 1/4” amsteel and it loops over the top of the step. With 2 sticks and the aider I can get 16 ft with 4 pounds of carried weight.

I got the one @g2outdoors suggested in his video. I think there's better ones out there but It works. When you put them away they tend to tangle up so when you go to use it again make sure it's not twisted.
This is the one I got.

I use the same one but I cut the top step off, just seemed too close to the one below it.

Anyone know if the black diamond is better than the kailas?

 

[skyjacker]

I don't have the Black Diamond alpine aider. But looking at the specs ... The BD is 16 mm at 120 g and the Kailas is 18mm at 126 g. The Kailas is cheaper. So for 6 grams you get a wider cheaper aider. IMO, I see no reason to purchase the BD. I have the Kailas and it's built well. I also like the yellow color of the Kailas. It's easier to see. These are the lightest aiders I could find.

Nice. Thx

Search diysportsman aider on you tube. Tons of content.

Is there a link to show how you guys are attacking the Kailas to your LW sticks? Looks like the top loop on the aiders is pretty small, I assume there is a way to attach these to your LW?

 

[rutjr]

I just slide the top loop onto my middle step.

I just slide the top loop onto my middle step.

I would not recommend doing it that way! There is way to much of a chance of a kick out. That's just my 2 cents

 

[cb750]

It looks like it may kick out. Do you intend to use the aider as a moveable one?
