I really like the way aiders like this are directly in line with the stick as apposed to off ot the side. Unfortounately I do not have access to any sewing equipment to mkae it for myself. I it possible to splice, or tie something from AmSteel or any other rope?

My orginal plan was to make a moveable 2 step ladder aider following this video. But while looking for this video for you I might go with the type that cinches around your foot so its always in place.

you can definitely do a single step by splicing together a "dogbone" there are plenty of videos on youtube. to get it girth hitched on both sides is kinda like one of those brain teasers. I'll try to find the video on how to do it.

to do a double step you'll have to get creative and probably sew your splices in place.

Thanks for the reply, I was able to make a aider similiar to what I posted a picture of. But by tying webbing, I haven't tested it much yet but I am still looking options.
 
Check out doublesteps.com DanO makes a standoff with a built in aider. You could prob order that and just bolt it on your current sticks. Just a thought
 

Helium Aiders

I just made these and didn't test them yet but... 1) 44" tubular webbing 2) 6" of 5/8 inch old garden hose from back yard, split in half lengthwise. 3) Insert half hose in webbing to middle 4) Place webbing ends through HH steps and tie an over hand knot. I guess if I miss these with my foot...

Can't you Brummel lock the Amsteel to the lower step?
You could Brummel a loop in each end of the Amsteel, take each step off and girth hitch each end to each step and reassemble.

Nice, I don't see a way to order just the aider which is what I am looking for now. But ill be sure to check it if I get a new stick

Sounds nice, I was able to make one out of webbing which will do for now. If I "need" an AmSteel one I'll let you know.
