I'd try single sticking but I don't like a slack tether and it seems tough to climb with a linemans.
I'd probably use a 2 step aider, use a rappel rope in a bag as my tether.
Any threads that I'm missing that go over methods to decrease tether slack while climbing? Or any massive single sticking threads that are legendary compilations of various tips and tricks?
I'm thinking you could hold your tether tag end in your right hand in a way so that you can also grab with the right hand. As you step, quickly let go with right hand while maintaining contact with left hand and both feet and then pull to tend in slack with each step. You would need a very tendable tether. Too bad there isn't an "auto tender" that takes up slack as you climb like a dog leash.
