that dang Dano.
I have a set of custom Dano sticks and I have the SHikars and they honestly are nothing alike besides that they are both climbing sticks.Yeah I know. What I'm saying is that it basically looks like the guy who does the design and fab work for OOAL looked at @DanO stuff and made his sticks based on that design.
I’d put my custom ultralight DanO stick up against a beast stick any day of the week. I’m sorry but the beast stick doesn’t hold a candle to these ultra lights that can be built from parts from DanO.

Here’s what my EWO sticks weigh. These have drilled posts. And all components came from EWO

Which do you prefer. I have never tried Shikar sticks.

Not sure, last season I had the LWCG and EWO and always grabbed the EWO so I sold the LWCG. Then I couldn’t help myself and bought the shikars. I have been messing with them and made a few climbs but I can not honestly compare them yet besides packability. Shikars win in that category.

If you use a 5 mm or 6 mm tech cord you will be 1.8 pounds
The rating on some of those cords exceeds 4000 pounds
I have used that type of cord for two years

You are correct it’s way cheaper just to buy sticks. However I built mine over a year ago made them 20” long. A year ago you couldn’t get 20” sticks. Now they are all the rage. I was cool and didn’t even know it.I like being able to order stuff from them but to build a set of sticks piece meal you are better off just buying beast stiks or the LW customs. Its cheaper. I just bought some 1" square tube and took the stand offs off my LW sticks and bought 4 steps from from them and used the rest of the parts from my LW sticks and ended up with a sweet set of 4 semi custom sticks for $100 bucks.
