UltimAider: Is this the last climbing aider you'll ever buy? 

I like that approach as well. The less steps the further I go up the tree, the better 😂 Thanks for watching!

Allie. I would love to see the UltimAider on your channel. Contact me so we can work something out. Ultimaider@gmail.com

@@SaddleHunter @Outdoors Allie I agree. For those who may be new to this, use the aider as close to the ground as possible where the tree is thickest & straightest and risk of a fall injury the lowest. I'm 6'2" so I use a four step aider only on the bottom step, but if you can't reach as high to place the first step then Allie's suggestion is the next safest route to reach the same height.

I thought the same thing

You should! It's worked great on the one stick set-ups that I've owned. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Brian!

Thanks Chuck!

Thanks! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

That will be a huge benefit. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Mike. I appreciate your support.

Thanks again for watching.

That’s the first thing I thought when I got it. Thanks for watching.

I can’t believe an adjustable aider hasn’t hit the market until now.

Thanks for watching!

I appreciate that! I'm like you, I try to research so I spend my money wisely. So I make videos with detail that I'm curious about. Thanks for the support!

Thanks Chris. I must have $200 in aiders around my house. Where was this 5 years ago? 😂

I think these will sell pretty well, it’s such a flexible product.

Yeah such a simple idea but super practical.

I didn’t experience any pinch. I don’t think you would either, the only way I could see that happening is if the solid part of the step creased.

I doubt the webbing will slip in a vertical pull but if you do notice it a quick adjustment and you are in business.

We tested it up to 3,400 lbs with no slippage.

Yes that’s what I would do.

Did you ever find out? I need a few also...

I think you could add an amsteel loop between the top two loops and hang it over the stand-off of a single step stick.

You've got it, 1" wide. I'll try and measure the steps later.

@@SaddleHunter Thanks! Don't bother measuring, I already ordered it! HERE, just haven't opened the box, still in quarantine!

Oh absolutely it would work great with those double steps.

Yes but I’m my experience that will depend on how high up your stick the Versa button is. Laying flat the Swaider option adjusts out to 39”

That’s with 12” doubled over for the foot loop.

Unfortunately AustriAlpin couldn’t keep up with our demand for the black buckles. The website does say we are shipping with silver buckles until we can get the black ones back in stock. Black buckles will be back in stock soon. Sorry for the disappointment.

I agree with that assessment. You certainly can use the rappel line as your tether and I will be doing so this fall.

60" i believe

Dude I was looking at this like how in the hell did he get that stick up there?

It’s actually really simple to set your first stick 2 feet above your head. Once you have your rope around the tree just flip it up as high as you can on the back of the tree. If you use the cam cleat then just run the rope through the cleat and pull down on your stick to set it. I’m 6’ and the top of my stick is always at the 8’ mark.

It all depends on the location. For swamps, sticks. In ag and hardwoods areas, the one stick.

There is an aluminum shortage, but Eastern Woods Outdoors usually has them.

EWO May have some or you can buy them directly from AustriAlpin. They are not a Amazon product and please do not DIY this with non rated try glides. Even the metal ones you find on Amazon will eventually fail.

@@ultimaider6138 I did order a couple from Amazon just to have a look, but upon receiving them I soon realized they were junk, decorative and 0 % strength. It was foolish of me to think they might be OK with my background in safety harness training and climbing at heights. That being said I've got a lady at my local rigging shop trying to source me some tubular webbing and different triglide buckles as long as it's cost worthy. Thanks for you concern and I love you content, keep up the great work, happy and good luck hunting

If you used two bolts near one another to hang it from, I don’t see why not.

It would work perfect. It’s designed to work with any double step stick.

What John said 👍

I think this set up is for one stick climbing, but I’m not sure?

@@Buckski00buckshot after a substantial amount of video watching on this subject ….turns out no matter how many aiders ya got … you can only go as high as you can reach over your head. Which makes sense.

That’s a grey that never made it to production.

Just add a carabiner at the top, or convert it into the Swaider and can probably do a Knaider as well. That's what I use with mine, Knaider and Swaider, works great. Actually, now that I think about it, you can thread the Ultimaider around the Stepp, just like looping over the first step of a stick. Just unthread the tri-glide, loop over the Stepp and rethread; perfectly attached.

That’s what it looked like you could accomplish. Just did not know if anyone has tried to wrap it around the wild edge step. Thank you for your help!

Oh you certainly could. Use some carabiners to attach the top of the aiders to the step.

$18 per step. The Swaider option can be used as a CAYG.

It’s going to be up this next week. Early April.

AustriAlpin

What he said.

He probably hung a stick low to place a stick higher. Then removed lower stick and added the aider.

The aider he has is called foliage green but really looks gray. We currently stock coyote brown and Olive Drab but do to requests the gray will be coming back to EWO within the next couple days to a week.

@@ultimaider6138 thanks for the info

I'm glad John replied, I would have said grey.

I’m replying for future readers. We are currently stocking the gray again. We are calling it wolf gray to avoid confusion with the actual name my supplier uses.

Your weight isn't the only factor in a weight rating for a climbing product. You have to factor in "dynamic load". IE movement etc when you step on the webbing.
