No, but if did not run the plastic up the sides it would. But it may not stay open as well.Ooooo I like that. Is it still flexible enough to pack down flat?

I had @always89y make me this foot loop using stiff plastic in the bottom and up the sides that is chemically bonded to titanium using a patent pending chemical welding process, .
Yes I do , have it on I will try that I hope I can get this dialed inDo you still have the strap connected to the foot loop that is for securing your foot in? I pulled that completely out and it helped with that. Also, mine sort of flared open on one side and I make sure that side is facing me.

We certainly canI found for me it made it a little easier. I am also able to grab the main strap while I am sitting and kind of hold the foot loop where I can get my foot in easier. There is a little fiddling still bit not as much. The loop that @GeoFish has would be perfect. For me, I don’t care that it would be a little less packable. I don’t know if @always89y would be willing to do anymore like that?
gets expensive I know lolI have to stay off this forum and CGM website. This last two weeks has been brutal...
I will report back on this new foot loop. Lol.
I did a couple more climbs again today and then I tried the one stick again. I am pretty sure the one stick stuff will end up in the classifieds. Maybe it is because I started out with the 2TC and switched but I find it much easier to 2TC. Seems backwards to most people’s experience so I have been surprised.

I am sort of new to this so I don't know the definition is what rda ? and I am going to probably say duh when you tell me LOLI have an RDA one stick.

What we need is someone to make something like the front half of a croc into a foot loop or boot attachment and add golf spikes to the front of the toe area.I KNOW this was discussed in this thread already but I can't find the answers...
You very experienced 2TC climbers, what do you do with wet or slick trees? Seems to me like a slippery trunk precludes a climbing method where friction and stability are absolutely necessary. (It creeps me out to climb an icy tree with a climbing stick, but I can do it. I don't see how I could 2TC on an icy tree.) Is dry weather a requirement for 2TC or what are your tips to mitigate a wet tree?
They already make studded ice crampons and I have had the thought to get some and remove the back studs and only leave a few toward the toes. I just don’t know if the juice would be worth the squeeze.What we need is someone to make something like the front half of a croc into a foot loop or boot attachment and add golf spikes to the front of the toe area.
Not a bad idea. Crampons are cheap and lightweight. unless the concept flat out doesn’t work I don’t see that the squeeze would hurtThey already make studded ice crampons and I have had the thought to get some and remove the back studs and only leave a few toward the toes.

Something like this but where the spikes are on the tip or front of the boot not under it. Maybe have a row just under the toes.They already make studded ice crampons and I have had the thought to get some and remove the back studs and only leave a few toward the toes.

I’m sure CGM can do thatWhat we need is someone to make something like the front half of a croc into a foot loop or boot attachment and add golf spikes to the front of the toe area.
