bigwallpete Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I have ABC ladder style. And they are great, although you might want to attach some elastic to the bottom side of the 3rd and 4th steps for jugging to keep them on your feets. Got them at Climb On in Squamish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoboy Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 On-Sight makes them, but they are light ones, for alpine... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Crash Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 What's the advantage of a ladder style vs regular style with triangular steps on the sides? Stay open better? drC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_m Posted March 28, 2005 Share Posted March 28, 2005 Misty Mountain does one called the easy step aider. Yep - Have the misties and like them How well do they stay open? They don't have a spreader bar like the yates ones but they'll stay open about as wide as your foot when weighted - I've never had major issues getting in them. If you're doing serious aid - yates all the way but for most stuff the misties are nice and lighter to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
