I've been thinking about how to use one of the climbing systems with a lock on set up. I use climbing sticks with my lock ons. How would you safely slide the prussic know up the rope while climbing? You would have to remove at least one hand from the ladder while climbing and this doesn't seem very safe to me. When climbing, I always have both hands and feet on the ladder at all times. Anybody tried this yet? Also, most of the trees I climb do not have any sizeable branches until I get to my stand or above. I would have to tie the rope around the tree and I din't see how it would keep from sliding down the tree in case you fell and it would also slam you into the side of the tree or even my ladder which would not be fun.

Just pondering.
