    Default climbing stix.....

    Just bought 3 sets of these and impressed!
    They are well built and the price is right compared to Lone Wolf.

    How big are the footsteps? Reason I ask is some of those sticks steps are so narrow and thin it makes climbing them difficult. I wear a size 11, which isn't that big, and just prefer a little beef with my step. If you approve, I might have a set on the way as well. Great price.
    I'm going to heaven for the weather and hell for the company.

    Be dangerous, unpredictable, and make a whole lot of noise.

    Are they roughened up on top or something? They look like you could easily slip and impale your leg on one.

    I don't use steps normally so I'm asking out of ignorance...

    they're rock solid and no different in size than lone wolf steps...about foot width and 3/8" wide.....
    i definitely would recommend them!

    Gotcha... they're much heavier duty than the first pictures appeared.

    Thanks!

    Just curious Cali, why would you prefer these over a stick?

    Art, before I went to the short stix I bought about 7 sets of stacking Gorilla stix. Without a doubt the best ever made and they quit making them the following year. The steps would pivot like the Lone Wolf. When I started on the short Lone Wolf's, I was hooked...you can put em on a crooked tree, offset them form one another around a limb ro whatever!

    Yeah. I think this is the way that I will go from now on. I have been using the leaf river 20 foot sticks, and I have been a little limited in tree selection. I like to hunt in the 20-24' range, so I would need at least one extra. Looks like u could hang one pretty quick. You can also hunt a little lower cause you can leave more limbs on the tree. ThNks for the heads up Cali.
    Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him

    He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right

    I can hang 4 sticks and a stand in about 5 minutes if no cutting or special considerations are involved.
    I haven't hunted a climber in many, many years!
