I have done a lot of reading on this site and I want to try 1-sticking this year once I receive my saddle.
For you guys that are currently using this climbing method, can you discuss some of the Pros and Cons of the following items:
I am looking for information about ease of climbing with the 1-stick method... things to consider that a novice may not realize.
LW Sticks
I currently have a set of 4 LW sticks that i use the rope mod on.
Was thinking of ordering a single stick to modify shorter and add double steps.
Cost: $50 for stick and another $30 in mod costs
Hawk Helium sticks
I have never used these so I don't know if I would mod it shorter or just use as is.
Cost: $45 (or buy a set of 3 for $99 and sell the other 2)
Muddy Pro Sticks
These seem to only be sold in 4 packs at a cost of $169
The cam cleat, double steps, and 2 step length make these attractive
I could sell the other 3 sticks that I don't need.
Beast Sticks
A little pricey at $80 but seem to be very popular.
Currently out of stock.
I am 5'8" tall so I'm not sure how the 22" step would feel coming from the LW sticks.
