KAILAS Climbing Aider 5 Step/Quick Aider Adjustable Etrier Lightweight for Rock Climbing Rescue Climbing Etrier Foot Ascender Ascending Loop Webbing Ladder Hanging Rope Work at Height

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.

Bought these for my saddle set up. Seems to work. Got me to 18’ with two step sticks. But once you step in the loops they all close up too small for your boots to slip in easy. Definitely better options out there.

Great addition to Ninja slack line

good quality, good stitching.

1 Star is too many. This is poorly made and threads break. They seem to have deleted my first review. BEWARE.

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