Climbing Step Aider

[Aeds151]

For the few that may use a pioneer/squirrel/Cranford step with some sort of aider, what are the best options for aiders to be used with strap/daisy attachment style steps?

I am using a foot loop from CGM and a DIY amsteel atachment.

Does the aider not slip off the step? Especially the smooth cranford.

I use treehopper steps. Both steps angle upward so it should not be an issue.
Not the best pic.

I got some pioneer steps but not sure if i want to risk an aider on a step but 18’ with only 5 steps is tempting just not quite worth dying for.

I tried some Pioneer steps with a daisy chain and truckers hitch. Also tried a buckle strap. I could not get them to not pull out from the tree at the top. The Treehoppers do not.
See post 4. Also I climb with a linesman and my tether.

bullman pioneer step daisy chain trucker's hitch attachment, faster than with tree hopper steps

Some of you might remember this thread. https://saddlehunter.com/community/index.php?threads/description-review-of-amsteel-buckleless-treehopper-step-climbing-method-after-20-hunts.33888/ where I posted this video. I can save 1.5 pounds by going from tree hopper steps to bullman pioneer...
