Just finished reading your book. It was truly inspirational! Thanks for writing it and for your contributions to the art and sport of climbing and to the climbing community…you’re an awesome woman.

Being a light fanatic, I cut off all the parts I don’t need. If they are only going to be used for jugging, I cut off the top stuff and the top step, and the bottom step of the side you never use.

If I’m “full-on” aiding, I use 3 aiders. I keep them each on a non-locking biner, so it’s easy to pass them around. I also like to have a fifi hook.

For super light, alpine, I have a lighter version of these, with most of the steps cut off, and then I only use 2.

The cans of beer and a few vegan cookies make the experience on top monumental. It’s always good to slow down and look around when you have pushed for the top.
Just getting into aiding and wondering your pros and cons on different aiders you used. I flailed miserably in LCC seconding, jugging, an overhanging pitch (coffin roof), with poorly thought through runners the other night.
