I think 'tubular' is the correct way to describe them.
Gern - more or less smooth steps, I think 'tubular' is the correct way to describe them. It's def opened my eyes to the advantages of the Millennium and Muddy type of sticks that are small in size but more aggressively built to keep your foot on them.

Thanks ya'll. Slow and sore this morning!
You can still bust your ass using LW and Muddy Sticks. Actually far easier than fixed position sticks.. Fuckers are dangerous and you're playing with fire every time you hang, take down, or climb them. They aren't nicknamed "suicide sticks" for no reason...
Glad to hear you are doing ok without any long lasting injury. Good thing it happened at 6 feet instead of 20+.. Scrape those boots off on the bottom step guys.
