Metolius Pocket Aider

Climbing > RopesRated: ***** by 2 reviews.

Mountain Gear

There are times on a climb when the route is impossible due to seasonal feature changes, disagreeable weather, chopped bolts or loose rock. That's where the Pocket Aider from Metolius excels. With five ladder-style steps and a handle, it's super light, super compact, reasonably priced and it saves your pride next time there are some obstacles that can't be free climbed.

Features:

  • Burly 3/4 inch webbing lasts for climb after climb
  • Have the Pocket Aider in your pocket for when you need it - the included stash pocket packs away quickly

Oregon Mountain Community

The Metolius Pocket Aider is a lightweight 5-Step, ladder style aider. In spite of being constructed from 3/4" solid webbing and offering 60 inches of overall length and 18kN of overall strength the Metolius Pocket Aider still fits neatly in it's attached carrying pouch!

Material:nylon webbing

"It's small and it aids you, what else could you want?"

Rating:*****
I've used this to ascend ropes for fixing and stripping holds on an artificial wall. Also for hanging cool climbing stuff on so I can look at it. It works well in both cases. Packs up small into a self contained bag so it won't tangle with anything.

"Great hard to find item!"

Rating:****
These things are great. They are so compact, you can't even tell that they're hooked to or on your pack. I bought one for each person on my mountaineering team and have used it a few times already. Very convienient and at a great price.
