Black Diamond Six-Step Etrier

A six-step aid ladder for big wall climbers who need additional working height over a five-step design on placements where that reach determines whether the next piece goes in, the Black Diamond Six-Step Etrier pairs 25mm nylon webbing with reinforced steps and a clip-in and pull-handle configuration at 240g and a 10kN strength rating. The extra step extends usable working height by approximately 20-25cm for placements where the difference between a five-step and a six-step etrier is the difference between making the clip and falling short. Stiffened steps hold their shape under body-weight loading and allow foot placement adjustments mid-move without hands-free balance on a narrow ledge.
