Personally, I love one-sticking. I can’t imagine doing it any other way now, and I’ve tried 2-tether climbing, wild edge steps and using multiple sticks.
I have an ultimate 1-stick from EWO with a scout platform at the top and sewn 2-step aider. That’s it. It weighs almost nothing. I don’t carry steps or a platform. I use a madrock on my tether and rappel down. It takes me 15 min, start to finish, to get 30 feet up, and I can do it pretty much silently. It required some practice to get to that point.
Some caveats though - I have small feet, so the scout is fine all day for me. I also lean instead of sit. I’m also not that big or strong, so I can’t hike very far carrying a bunch of weight. For all those reasons, one-sticking is my go-to. Also, rappelling down is freaking awesome
