My Sladder should be arriving today.... looking forward to getting it on a tree & seeing if I can use it as effectively as greyskwerel. Over the years I've tried every climbing method I'm aware of except DRT (I've done some SRT & still pack my hand ascender when one sticking just in case I drop something or nature calls, It's faster to get back up to hunting height). Have probably used the treehopper hand drill & carbon fiber bolts the most & would say it's probably my lightest & most compact method, but not the fastest (or legal when I'm on public land). Fastest I'd say is using my spurs, but I would always be wondering if I was gonna run into Mr Game Warden & how he'd feel about my climbing method. Hoping that this will work well enough to be my "go to" & not have to worry about changing my climbing method depending if I'm on public or private land.
