Wondering, what advantage does this have over the two rope cimb method where you move a girth hitch up? Someone brought it up above.
That's what I was asking too

I have thought about this several times just never had a chance to try it!Slip your ring knaider swaider over Cranford rope steps?
You still have the problem of kicks outs. Which is the same thing as slipping on a step. Actually a kick out is worse if your foot gets caught.
I respectfully disagree. I have never had a kickout with the knaider/swaider, and I have climbed a lot of trees with the system. Does not matter if it is a fat or skinny tree, wet or dry, or what boots I wear. I was just out in a foot and half of snow, wearing snowmobile boots, climbed a tree that I have seen for the first time and it had two bends in it; no issue. So far, this seems to even jam me in harder to the tree. But I will not be able to tell for sure until I can make up a few and climb higher. Kickout is a function of bad form, specifically poor use of the linemans belt.
Keep the problems and issues coming. I need to to figure out where this will fail.

Pete can you expand on the bad form? Kick outs are my concern as well on the current common method of K/S with WE steps. What is the common mistake with the LB that increases likelihood of kickouts?
I’m a spur guy right now and used it all season but that is not without its own pucker moments!!
Without something to stand on how much higher than the first strap do you think you could get the second?

I'm still confused at how you are not having to rethread the cam buckle every time you have to set a new strap. Those are always a pain in the neck to thread!
That will be easy. Flat hook will be used where the webbing is typically sewn to the buckle. Strap will be permanently threaded through the cam.
Coming down makes me nervous too.
