The recall on the website states the steps could crack and break. I personally wouldn't buy any climbing stick from them. They have a terrible track record with them.Can someone fill me in why Gen 2 was recalled?
And more importantly, was the issue causing the loose steps (glue?) corrected?
Tethrd's credibility is in the red for me but I did get a chance to handle these sticks and I still want a set once they are out of the consumer prototype phase.

I’ve never seen these in person, why can’t the roll pin be replaced with a grade 8 bolt?

My guess is grade 8 bolts cost more than roll pinsthe step/standoff on one broke in half with someone on them and they called them all in for testing, not really a recall, but you could get your money back i think
testing was putting 300 lbs on each side of the stick....which seemed potentially harmful to the sticks
the adhesive issue was addressed in generation 2 by a plug in the ends of the tubes that supposedly expanded them , i believe the glue was ditched, roll pin still there
still don't know why they didn't put 2 grade 8 bolts at intersecting angles through each standoff to make it even stronger and stop the wiggles
Weight?My guess is grade 8 bolts cost more than roll pins
When I first seen this post I thought it was a joke!
Gen 3?
FairWeight?
You mean the prototypes they actually sold the public?Gen 1 hasn't even seen two seasons, lol.
