Climbing method last year:
-Full Length Hawk Heliums
-8 foot 7/64 Amsteel daisy chains over a @DanO Alumi Button
-DIY 20-inch mil-spec webbing aider on each step
This got my platform to 19-20 foot and typically took me anywhere from 12-16 minutes to climb safely and comfortably andbe ready to kill...I was extremely happy with that setup and planned on using that system again this year......until....
I randomly bought the muddy pros off camofire just to try them...because I’m very rich and have a bunch of extra money laying around to buy more things to climb trees
Tried them today for the first time and (without alders) was able to get my platform to 18 foot and be ready to kill in 9 minutes...not that it’s a race...IM NOT SAYING THAT...but for the first climb with new sticks, to cut that much time off, it’s significant...obviously they are heavier, but I’m a man...what’s a couple extra pounds if it makes my climb faster, but more importantly, safer and more efficient...there was so much less fiddle factor using the cam cleat and just made for an easier climb
if you’re on the fence about the muddy pros, get them...certainly worth trying out...that’s all.
