I have two metolious 5-step aider and I am planning to buy more 2 aiders to use in overhanging/roofs routes... I read in some place about have aider pair with 5-step and 4-step, make sense? Which aider could you recommend to complete my 4 aiders set...
I am relatively new to big wall. I did my first wall last season and it happened that I lead Kor's roof on washington column. It was an overhanging roof and I didn't need more than my standard set of aiders.
Could you explain why another set is needed? I have not heard of people using two sets or any extra aiders during overhangs or other maneuvers.
Yea stick to two. Don't over complicate it. Better yet, get a pair of ladder style aiders. I've used the old etrier style, and after using a friends ladders, I switched for good. Much easier to work with.
