Keep in mind you are limited by the maximum attachment point of the sticks, so the best you can do per stick is going to be around +-7 ft, depending on your height and reach.
As to the aider, a cayg aider is simple and works well. I used it all last season, but I am using a knaider/swaider now and cut my heliums to 15" and still can get over 20ft with 3. I prefer the weight and bulk reduction.
Keep your nose to the wind, and your eyes along the skyline.
Do you have a video of you climbing? Or pics of your sticks?
