This does have a climbing aid, doesn't it? If not how does a one piece get up a tree? Just curious.My brother uses a loggy and I have used it, a 2 piece I would call it. It was all right. We looked for a newone at a show and all they offered wasone with a seat that looked like it would hold about a half agallon of water on a rainy day. He was disappointed.
Yes there is a climbing aid. I bought it with my last one thinking I'm getting older and it would help in the climb. Hated it from the get go. Used it three times and gave it away. I can get it back if I do need it in my greying days.
To get up a tree with one piece is very easy. Even easier when getting down. You just shimmy up by hugging the tree and pulling your legs up. I tell you I feel much more secure hugging that tree. To get down on most trees (12" in diameter)I do a fireman slide to the bottom. I can climb trees from 18" down to 8". Like I said why would you want two pieces verses one?
