Anyone put cable aiders on their Muddy Pros?

Thanks

I put the EWO aiders from Dano on mine--18" on 2 upper sticks and a 20" on the bottom stick. The Muddy Pros use 5/16" hardware so you need to make sure you get the right cables with 5/16 holes.

Did you need to get longer bolts or did the ones that came with the sticks work?
 
I have 4 EWO cable aiders that I would sell if someone wants them. They have been gently used for a couple climbs. They are the LW sized ones. Decided to go with CAYGA or versa aider.
 
I did have to get longer bolts- I think they were 2 inches but to be sure I would have to measure
 
No I mostly one stick with a muddy pro though. I use one 24" climb rated loop with mine as an aider with the @SloMo mod.

I like cable aiders going up…. But coming down not so much. You have to awkwardly lift your foot way higher than you think necessary so the lugs on your boots clear. I have had the lugs on my boots catch on the cable aiders coming down. Not much fun.

If possible rappel down and collect your sticks.

What length or lengths of aider do you have and are you happy with the size you got? Also, did it matter 1/4 or 5/16 size bolt?

I ordered from Dano.

18" with 1/4"-20 x 1 3/4" button head bolt. I drilled below the bottom step. The 18" is good for later season when it is colder with more clothing. You could easily stretch it in early season to the 20" or 22". The 18" is a safe compromise.

@SHF Hunter did you have problems with your muddy sticks stacking right after you installed below bottom step?

I just mounted mine in that spot without thinking about how they stack. And now they don’t stack together as that’s where the tree standoff usually fit onto the tube of the stacked sticks.

I stack the standoff in the step cutout.
