Thinking that is my issue. How much of a pain in the ass is it to tie and untie a half hitch while 1 sticking at every move up the tree? Also would adding a larger diameter rope make things more snug and prevent that slipping?

I don’t tie the half hitch while climbing so I can’t say how much of a hassle that will be. The stick was never meant to be used for
1 sticking so I’m not going to recommend you do the same but I will say it’s much fast without it.
My recommendation is buy an older model stick with the better cam lock.
As for larger rope I can not say because I use the stock rope and never had a need to replace.
On a side note keep your fingers out from between the tether rope and tree Incase your stick slips down the tree.
Very painful if this happens and all your body weight and force suddenly trap your hands in the girth hitch.
