Climbing stick opinions

I like a folding step for packability. It's a little weight penalty, yes. Compact is more important to this guy.

I'm still rocking my 4 year old heliums. I know they aren't the cool option anymore, they just flat out work.

I'm intrigued by Tethered's design but waiting a year or two to see how the glue sitch works out for them. I expect to see some changes to that design aspect when the beta customers get through this year.

So you like the way the Beasts stack? I heard it's a big profile. True or not? Thanks

Climbing Sticks.... Which ones to get?

I'm in the market for climbing sticks. I had some hawk mini sticks but the packability wasn't there so I'm moving on... I still would like to get some but am torn between a few options. I want a set of sticks that have good foot room so I can get more than just a toe on the step. Looking for a...

Right, also specifically how they stack. Can't believe no one has copied my proprietary 3 stick stacking method yet.

@GCTerpfan shared it with me (us) in the backpacking thread. Slick.

Is everyone using mini sticks now? My full length Hawks suck for packing nicely on my cheap backpack. It’s a tough pill to swallow but 4 of the LWCG doubles stack super thin. Also light weight for 4 sticks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I absolutely love my EWO sticks. Their ability to lock down on the tree and the standoffs sold them for me. I wanted sticks that I felt completely safe climbing and these sticks did that for me. I also got cable aiders for these through EWO and I could not speak more highly of those.
