Watch this YouTube video of a soon to be available climbing systems, that I think will revolutionize climbing methods. He has been working on this movable five-step aider system design, final production, and Patton for about eight months. I am purchasing a SLATTER as soon as it is available and will be repelling down as well. I see no issues with this system. Your thoughts?

 
BTW
I currently climb with my tether rope in my Dryad Drey 2 saddle. I use a 1000 pound rated hammock strap around the tree and a carabiner attaching a 5 step aider to it.
Walk up the aider, put all my weight in the saddle, Reach down between my legs move the hammock strap up over my head, step back in the aider and move up again. After my third or fourth move, I attach a ring a steps.
Luckily, hammock straps, come in pairs, of course, and the second one I carry with me to use to get around limbs. I just put the second one on the tree above the limbs, detach the carabiner from the previous hammock tree wrap and clip on the one above and keep moving. Hope you can visualize this.
extremely lightweight, very inexpensive (you can get both the hammock straps and the five-step aider online at Walmart each are $20) no noise or metal. The Slatter will be a slight improvement on my current method.

"Soon to be available".....last summer.... thats what we heard.....lol.
I highly suggest if you like it, then make your own! It'll be faster that way!
 
 
It sounds like you have your current method pretty well dialed in. Will a slight improvement be worth the cost of a new system?
