UL Wallpinist Aid Ladder (UHMWPE)
Constructed entirely from two weights of 1″ UHMWPE webbing with a rigid spreader bar, this ladder delivers full-size performance at an unmatched weight.
Each ladder weighs an insane 98 g (3.4 oz) — saving more than a pound per pair compared to conventional aid ladders.
Included recycled sailcloth removable pocket adds 4 grams.
Nylon Wallpinist Aid Ladder
A durable nylon version designed for everyday big wall use while retaining the Wallpinist open-step geometry and compact storage.
Fully nylon construction
Integrated removable ladder pocket (included)
UHMWPE-reinforced top loop and grab loop
Available in Pink or Green
Compatible removable pockets available separately (fits other ladder brands)
Weight: 9.4 oz
Why Wallpinist Ladders
Competitors’ full-size ladders weigh 10–11.6 oz each. Even “pocket” ladders weigh 6–7 oz and collapse under load.
The Wallpinist rigid spreader bar keeps every step open for fast, continuous upward movement with less bulk and dramatically lower weight.

We didn't sacrifice length or step count to make these ultralight ladders, incorporating six steps and 5.5in spreader bar.
ULTRALIGHT
At only 3.4oz, you can save over a pound of weight compared to traditional aidders. When packed, they take up the space of a sock.
MADE IN USA
All manufacturing and assembly done fully in Washington State, USA.
Just 3.4 oz
These full-size, ultralight aid ladders are designed for cutting edge big walls and expeditions. Carrying a pair of these aid ladders can save you more than a full pound and excessive bulk.
I used these ladders on the Salathe Wall to replace of a heavier pair that didn't have spreader bars. They felt just as useful as beefier ladders for leading aid. For jugging, I prefer one adjustable foot loop with elastic, since ladders only offer a few increments for the height of your foot. The only downside of these ladders is their light weight (which is also their main benefit); on sunny walls, the wind often blows upward, making the ladders hard to step into as they're flying up past my face. On the other hand, the dramatic weight savings made it easier to pull free moves. I'd also bring these ladders on a mostly free route with bolt ladders, like the Grand Wall, where I previously used slings instead due to the bulk of my heavier ladders.

Super light and packable!
Love them for the alpine. Light and packable enough to bring even when I am not sure I need them!

Great compact, lightweight aider!
Used for 2 Nose laps, one being a NIAD. Very functional, especially for its small size and weight!
