My DIY ultra-light stick build....

Slight angle and lip both make sense, might be harder to manufacture

Does anyone have a ballpark weight estimate for for a finished step with holes drilled?

I’ve been searching other threads but can’t find a step weight before attaching to stick? I keep finding assembled stick weights.

In another thread I saw 4.5oz per step.

Thanks for looking

I also found an old thread last night that showed 127g (4.48 oz) & then this morning in another thread showing same range.

I was actually looking at those designs early today and agree with the raised lip at the end. For those that have Muddy Pros or API - can you measure the height of the step? Can we still use 1.5" or would we have to go to 2"?

I think we would still use 1.5” & either angle down or drop down and cut straight across.

Drilled them out. Took off only 70 grams per stick. Still, under 2 lbs per stick. Now primed for camo paint.

They look good. How thick is the tube and how big are the holes

Tube is 1/8" square tubing, 24" long. Holes are 1/2" every inch on center but kept away from the vitals, so to speak, buttons and standoffs.

The bump on the end of the step measures just a bit over 1/8”. Probably 5/32”

The step is about 9 3/8” long.

The widest part of the step is about 1 3/8”

Thanks for getting the measurements

I finally finished my light weight DIY climbing sticks inspired by @flinginairos. Thanks for the idea. I just finished the Brummell splice and end bury on all of the ropes.
Each stick weighs 1 lb. 15.1 oz.
I'm thinking of cutting off one side of the bottom step to lose some more weight. No need for two steps on the bottom, but I'll use them a while first to make sure.
