Never used climbing sticks before. So far the few times I have climbed with then I have felt safe and they were easy to use. The steps are angled and are just right for me to stand comfortably while installing the next step.
As always with Novix, they are quality and I love seeing “Made in the USA”, just makes me feel good.
These sticks are exactly what I was looking for. Lightweight, durable, easy to hang, and very secure on the tree.
These are great stick for a more mobile setup. I love how the steps are angled away from the tree to give more of a secure foothold. Especially when wearing thicker pants/bibs + insulated boots and the mobility/ flexibility isn’t there.
Honestly combining these sticks with the Raider Hybrid platform will be my later season saddle and mobile platform combination.
American made. All you need to know!!
These new mini’s are perfect, I don’t know how you’ll improve them any further. The flared out steps keep my boots off the bark and quiets my ascent and descent. The elimination of lose hardware makes for less to worry about in the way of steps loosening up and cuts down on weight.
