I did it a few different ways and as long as the rope was parallel and tight to start the set was the same. But you are correct the process on the instructions is different than in this video. Appreciate your view and feedback!
Been looking at these HARD. If had an inch more stand-off would be a no brainer for me. I hunt down south where I have to use rubber boots a ton. So this makes me nervous about them
I’m in the same situation - in the south with rubber boots. These are my first climbing sticks, so nothing to compare to. I would like more room, but it would be a trade off for packability. I like them so far.
Thank you for teh extremely in depth review. Right after watching it, I looked up their website,and they actually have a stealth strip kit custom cut specifically for their sticks now as well.
Thanks for a real world review. I use the original Beast Sticks and think I will stick with them for now simply based on the standoff. Looking forward to more videos as you get going.
I’m noticing now on the stick I used it was attached incorrectly based on the directions. I had no issues with it but, yes it was incorrect. The person who broke it off wrapped it around just the ears of the cleats and never crossed over from the pictures I’ve seen. Thanks for watching !
