it ripped on the first try when I hung it on One Stick

Impressive quality, opens steps when hanging loose or taut. For supporting weight of person, not for stopping a falling climber... so don't attach safety rope to this. Plenty strong for purpose.

I didn’t mind saving a few bucks on these since aid ladders are not part of a safety system. Plenty strong enough for what they are. Good construction and materials.

I bought this to use on my climbing sticks for hunting. Bought it well before season and didn’t have a reason to test it. After the 30 day warranty ran out the season starts. AS SOON as I put a little weight a the first step, I ripped the stitching out of the second step making it useless. I’m 6’1” 200lbs so it wasn’t overweight. What if I was 20’ in the air and the thing ripped. Many reviews say the same thing.

Although the basic idea is working well, the webbing itself is narrow and thin. It's tricky to get the foot into the loop and when inside, it feels like stepping into a thin rope loop, hurting the foot pretty quickly. If someone is looking for something light and compact without expecting a comfortable and secure step, it might work well.
