Title: climbing stick users
Post by: Threewolves on October 10, 2025, 06:44:26 PM: Hey, I am looking at Hawk helium climbing sticks and was wonder the pros and cons of having the 20 inch or the 30 in steps. The pack for 20in comes with four and the pack with 30in comes with three. What is your real world experience with climbing sticks?

The smaller version is the way to go and then buy aiders to get higher. Also do the rope mod to secure to the tree and save more weight.

I have a set I’d like to get rid of that have been hardly used if your interested.
